Murder Around the Corner

A Cozy Mystery Novella

By: Chris Racknor

Narrated by: Michael McSweeney

Could you solve a murder if you had to bring your kid along?

Being a stay-at-home dad is boring. Dan Westerby is a smart guy going stir-crazy stuck at home with his kids. There is always something one of them needs, and neither can keep up an interesting conversation. When Dan decides that going to the gym again will provide him with the regular escape he needs, he ends up running into more than he expected.

With his small town's gym owner dead and the police convinced it was an accident, Dan decides he needs to investigate. It's not like he has anything better to do. But is there something nefarious going on, or does Dan need the distraction so badly that he’s imagining it? Either way, Dan soon realizes that trying to solve a murder requires a lot of heavy lifting. It’s not as straightforward as you see on TV, especially when you have a toddler in tow.

Is there really a case to crack, and can Dan do it between tantrums, errands, and trips to the playground?

Can this stay-at-home detective solve the mystery that's right around the corner?
