Death by Auction



When Abby McCree inherits her dear aunt's home, she doesn't realize the house comes with strings attached--in the form of her elderly aunt's busy social calendar and all the committees she headed in the fictional small town of Snowberry Creek. For a self-proclaimed non-joiner, Abby's new life is filled with a lot of fun, chaos and of course, murders in the third installment of Alexis Morgan's Abby McCree Mystery series...

Not only did Abby McCree inherit her aunt's house in Snowberry Creek, Washington, she inherited a handsome tenant and a whole lot of trouble . . .

It's hard to say no to Tripp Blackston. That's how Abby found herself on yet another committee, organizing a bachelors' auction to raise money for Tripp's veterans group. The former Special Forces soldier is mortified when Abby enlists him to be one of the prizes, but she has a covert plan to bid on him herself. Before she can, she's foiled by a sniper bid from a gorgeous stranger, who turns out to be Tripp's ex-wife, Valerie.

Still reeling from the shock that Tripp was married and wondering what his ex is suddenly doing in town, Abby goes looking to pay the auction's emcee, radio personality Bryce Cadigan. She finds him in the parking lot, dead in his car. Valerie appears to be the last one to have seen Bryce alive, so she's the cops' best bid for suspect. When she asks Tripp for help—and lodgings—it's Abby's turn to block by inviting Val to stay with her. But did she just open her home to a murderer?

Praise for Death by Auction

Praise for the Abby McCree Mystery series
"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
