Murder Between Neighbors - Paperback

by Michelle Corbier (Author)

Everyone's known some kind of bad neighbor: the loud, the rude, the nosy, or the accusatory. Unfortunately, Myaisha's neighbor in suburban Greensboro, a hard-drinking man named Jared, is pretty much all four, even going so far as calling Animal Control on her beloved dog Boomer -- all while ignoring the destruction of her fence at the hands of his own kids.

Then, Jared is found mysteriously dead. While rattled, Myaisha is not overly shocked or upset, considering his habits and the trouble he gave her. However, there's only so much protection her detective friend Todd can offer her as the investigation loosely circles her as a potential suspect. Considering everything she has to lose -- a successful medical practice, her relationship with her college-aged son Josiah, her hunky fireman boyfriend AJ -- Myaisha uses what sleuthing skills she's developed as a hobbyist mystery writer to try and uncover the darker, sleazier layers of neighborhood life around her.

The third in Michelle Corbier's cozy "Write Club Mystery" series, Murder Between Neighbors is an eminently readable, highly entertaining who-dun-it that perfectly balances rich, relatable characters with a tense plot that twists elegantly toward a startling climax.
