The State v. Elizabeth Flannigan (Quito Thorson Mystery Series Book 4)
About
Elizabeth Flannigan’s long dead father has arisen from the grave minus Elizabeth’s mother but plus a new girlfriend. He has dredged up a whole lot of negativity, less so for Elizabeth, but more so for her brother. Brother and father fight over the control of the family business. Elizabeth seeks to stay out of the fight, but secrets from her past threaten her current happiness.
Then, suddenly, and without warning, her father and his girlfriend are murdered.
The investigation begins and the evidence is piling up, and none of it is any good for Elizabeth and her alibi, friend from her past, Fiona Mortimer. Elizabeth inexplicably tells Quito Thorson, her close personal family friend to stay away from this investigation, but is that because she is guilty or for some other dark reason.
Elizabeth’s close girlfriends from Wellington Academy all stream back into town as if on cue, but has Elizabeth summoned them? Or has the wealthy and mysterious Edwin Mortimer played a part? Elizabeth wants Quito to stay away while Lord Mortimer wants Quito to get involved.
The secrets of the past all come to light as the group races toward the trial of Elizabeth Flannigan that will destroy some lives but will it be enough to save Elizabeth?
Who murdered Martin Flannigan and Suki Adams, and why?
The list of suspects is long and will reach around the world, but the evidence against Elizabeth is damning.
Is she guilty?
