About this ebook

When an unidentified skeleton is found at the vacant lot by the lake in Branson, Kate is already on an assignment—interviewing the founder of the local arts and crafts fair, Etta Stupholds. The more she learns about Etta, though, the more clues she finds leading her back to the case.

As if that doesn’t annoy her enough, the Branson police department, including her on again/off again boyfriend, Detective Tom Collingwood, blocks each of her attempts to get more information about the investigation.

There’s more to small-town Branson than it seems, and it’s up to Kate to make the connections.

In this second installment of the Kate Starling
Mysteries, investigative reporter, Kate Starling
inserts herself in the middle of another local murder case, only this time it’s more than personal.

Author

Beth Urich

After almost twenty-five years working in and for the Federal Government, Beth moved to Southwestern Missouri. Her goal: to find peace and quiet and begin a new career as an author. Originally from Kansas City, Kansas, Beth moved to Florida when she was thirteen and graduated from high school in Tampa. After eight years in the United States Air Force, she went to work as a computer programmer for a Federal contractor in Washington, D.C. Sixteen years later, she sold everything, bought an RV, and hit the road with her mother. They decided to settle in Branson, Missouri, fifteen months after leaving D.C. and about a year shy of the 1991 CBS 60 Minutes broadcast that brought national attention to the small tourist town. Branson's evolution to a major entertainment center surprised everyone. Famous-named entertainers built theaters. National-chain motels sprung up everywhere. The dynamics of that accelerated growth inspired Beth to write her Kate Starling Mysteries series. As for most struggling authors, the road to publication was long and often discouraging. Although she actively pursued a career throughout the 1990s, her efforts decreased in this century. As her day job took over her life, beginning in 2003, her writing career took a back seat until her retirement in 2014. In addition to writing, Beth enjoys bowling, hiking, volunteering, and taking care of her Miniature Pinscher, Lilly, who shares her home in Branson.
