About Murder Under the Lights: A Cozy Mystery

Murder Under the LightsA Second Chance Animal Rescue Mystery, Book 3The holiday house tour is one of the most beautiful nights of the year—glowing windows, evergreen wreaths, and a steady stream of guests admiring the season’s charm. For Sarah Morgan, it’s also a chance to support Second Chance Animal Rescue with a festive wreath auction, a few hopeful adoptions, and a very enthusiastic rescue hound named Junebug. But when prominent real estate agent Pamela Knox collapses in one of the elegant sitting rooms, the evening turns from celebration to shock.

What looks like a sudden illness quickly becomes something far worse. In a house full of guests, volunteers, and carefully managed appearances, someone has slipped poison into a cup of mulled cider—and almost everyone had a reason to want Pamela silenced. As the town fills with speculation and suspicion settles in all the wrong places, Sarah must untangle a web of quiet rivalries, financial pressure, and social maneuvering hidden beneath polished holiday smiles.

With donor relationships at risk and the rescue caught in the fallout, finding the truth becomes more than curiosity—it’s necessary. And as always, Junebug is paying attention to the details no one else sees. Set in a charming coastal town full of committees, gossip, and second chances, Murder Under the Lights is a warm, satisfying cozy mystery perfect for fans of holiday whodunits, small-town secrets, and animal-centered stories.
