About this ebook
Then her little sister is murdered in a picturesque Maine town. The police have no leads. Her grieving parents are eager to put everything behind them, and Thea--"little mother" to her adopted sister--refuses to back down. Not when she can do one more thing for Carrie: find the killer and get justice for her little sister.
But the truth behind Carrie and her adoption proves ugly, and her killer steadfastly believes family secrets must be kept silent.

Reviews for Chosen for Death (The Thea Kozak Mystery Series, Book 1)
20 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An engaging, easy read, with a solidly-constructed, interesting mystery. The characters are compelling - even when they're not entirely likeable (and when they're entirely unlikable) - and the mystery, while surprisingly gory, is good enough that you really want to know how it ends. Lots of fun, and a great beach read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5First in a series featuring amateur sleuth Thea Kozak,a private school consultant who keeps getting involved in murder. In this one, it's her adopted sister who has been murdered, and she goes to Maine to investigate.
