The Candidate Coroner

by Paul Austin Ardoin

Overview

Two contentious elections. One dead philanderer. A monumental conspiracy.

In the midst of Acting Coroner Fenway Stevenson's reelection campaign, the body of a successful business owner is found in a pedestrian underpass—and she discovers that her young, hated stepmother is the prime suspect. As if that's not bad enough, further digging only exposes a money-laundering scheme that could implicate dozens of residents in the coastal town she calls home.

Each clue she uncovers puts her in more danger. After an attempt on her life, and with more bodies piling up, how will Fenway solve the mystery, win the election—or simply save her own life?

Editorial Reviews

Fenway Stevenson is my new favorite heroine! She has the analytical mind of Kay Scarpetta, the street smarts of Maura Isles, and the sardonic wit of Temperance Brennan. Crime fiction doesn't get any better than this.

USA Today Bestselling Author - John Ling

Ardoin delivers a wonderfully creepy setup, a true-to-life father-daughter dynamic, and a great narrative flow. I enjoyed this book immensely--and I can't wait to see what happens next!

New York Times Bestselling Author - Jamie Thornton

Enjoyable, three dimensional characters, a murder, a stalker with an explosive personality, and a well-woven plot will keep readers turning the pages to find out what happens next.
