"It was  nice to have a place to run to, but the location of the cottage meant I was only a stone's throw away from the home I had shared with David. I know this because I've thrown stones at it a time or two." Mattie Winston, our sleuth/heroine, is speaking as part of the recap before the action in this book starts. at location 55 on my Kindle.

Mattie Winston, once an ER nurse then an OR nurse, is now an assistant to the Coroner. As part of her job, she is required to look into causes of death. The setting for the mystery is small town Sorenson, Wisconsin. 

The synopsis from Goodreads.com:

Deputy coroner Mattie Winston knows a thing or two about dead bodies. That's why she's on the case of Derrick Ames, a high school math teacher stabbed to death with a barbecue fork straight to the heart. Sure, she's turned up some motives and a few suspects, but nothing adds up. Especially when the evidence points to Ames's teenage son. Newly pregnant Mattie can't believe it, even as her own long-estranged father may be following her. But one thing's certain, she'd better start figuring things out fast, or a deadly perpetrator could be subtracting two more victims from the population of Sorenson, Wisconsin.

 I'm beyond location 55 now and I am still enjoying the book. What's your teaser this week? Leave it or a link in the comments so we can check it out. Happy Reading!
