Show Me the Murder by Carolyn Mulford

After years working as a CIA operative, Phoenix Smith returns to her Missouri hometown seeking peace — but finds only death and suspicion. When her best friend’s husband is found dead in what appears to be a suicide, Phoenix suspects murder. Teaming up with a local reporter and a police dog, she begins to unravel a trail of secrets buried deep within her quiet community.

Sharp, suspenseful, and richly layered, Show Me the Murder explores loyalty, loss, and the courage to confront truth in a world built on deception.
