Breaking News and Breaking Hearts

Greensmith Investigations specializes in the little things. Mostly they expose cheating spouses, low priority stuff real detectives wouldn't bother with. Rowen doesn't mind spreading her time between her husband's agency and the local paper she runs with her cousins. Life is good. Maybe a little too good. Rowen is getting bored. Life takes a sharp turn when a camera man from Channel 2 News turns up in an open grave. The Lainswich Inquirer has never been on the best terms with Channel 2 and its head correspondent, Julia Martinez. The best Rowen can hope for is to report on the murder from a distance... At least, until Seraphina Hawthorne steps into Greensmith Investigations one stormy night. Seraphina Hawthorne is the wife of Darren Hawthorne, news director at Channel 2. She's a real piece of work, but she's also a paying customer. Darren is cheating on her, she says, and she wants Rowen and her husband to prove it. This gives Rowen the perfect opportunity to poke around the goings on at Channel 2. Sure, she's supposed to be helping with an adultery case, but trying to solve a murder on the side couldn't hurt, could it? Seventh Volume of the Lainswich Witches Mystery Series. Approx. 50,000 words in length. It is a standalone (reading prior or future volumes not required to enjoy the book, no cliffhanger).
