Death by the Finish Line



With her inherited house, an unusually large dog, and a jam-packed committee calendar, Abby McCree keeps busy in her adopted town of Snowberry Creek in the Pacific Northwest even when she isn’t investigating the occasional murder! When a dead body turns up on a 5K charity race route, Abby hits the ground running to catch a killer in this fifth installment by USA Today bestselling author Alexis Morgan.

With her inherited house, an unusually large dog, and a jam-packed committee calendar, Abby McCree keeps busy in her adopted town of Snowberry Creek in the Pacific Northwest even when she isn’t investigating the occasional murder! When a dead body turns up on a 5K charity race route, Abby hits the ground running to catch a killer in this fifth installment by USA Today bestselling author Alexis Morgan.

Overcommitted Abby has once again been drafted to use her organizing superpowers—this time for a 5k charity run that’s part of the Founder’s Day Celebration in Snowberry Creek, Washington. At least she has help, albeit from an unlikely source: Gil Pratt, a member of her handsome tenant Tripp Blackston’s veterans group and co-owner of a motorcycle repair shop with his brother. Abby and Gil may seem like an odd couple, but they work great together.
 
The event seems to be running smoothly—until city council member James DiSalvo is found murdered in a ravine along the race route. Unfortunately, Gil’s brother Gary had a very public argument with DiSalvo minutes before the race, making him the prime suspect. Now the two race organizers must again team up to prove Gary’s innocence—before the real killer makes a run for it. But one wrong step and Abby may be the next one to come in dead last...

Praise for Death by the Finish Line

Praise for the Abby McCree Mystery series

“Delightfully entertaining.” —Dru’s Book Musings on Death by Intermission

“Unlike nearly every other cozy heroine determined to clear the name of someone she cares about, Abby doesn’t quiz potential suspects or scout out the crime scene; she simply waits patiently with her ear to the ground and lets the typical village buzz reveal the secret to her.” Kirkus Reviews on Death by Jack-O’-Lantern
 
“Let the amateur snooping begin! With Death by Committee, Alexis Morgan has created a world that readers will want to revisit: I have lingering questions that I hope will be addressed in the second (and third and fourth…) Abby McCree Mystery.” Criminal Element
 
“Death by Committee is the first book in her Abby McCree series and oh what a fun start to the series! I'm already in love with Abby's dog, Zeke, as his protective nature towards Abby warms my heart. If you're looking for a new cozy mystery series, give Death by Committee a try.” Fresh Fiction
 
"A great addition to this series. Although only the second book, it is quickly becoming a favorite for cozy book fans everywhere." The Cozy Review on Death by Jack-O’-Lantern
