Someone is out to kill the detestable Dana Finkle, and she wants Julia to help save her!

Dana Finkle is running for mayor of Mercer Island. When someone tries to kill her, they kill her campaign assistant instead.

Dana wants Julia Applegate’s help in finding the murderer before he hits his mark. But these two women hate each other. When Julia succeeds in getting Dana to drop her mayoral campaign (because who would want Dana as their mayor?) she agrees. As she fights to save her budding romance with Detective Franks, Julia teams up once again with her book club (Yes, Doe, Rudy, and Blair are back!) to solve the crime. All hell breaks loose, however, as the girls almost get arrested, steal Dana's trash, engage in a public food fight, confront the killer on a rainy night in a graveyard as he's trying to bury Dana. But with the help of Julia's dead mother and the resident ghosts, they do whatever it takes to bring the doer of the dastardly deed to justice.

What people are saying about A Candidate for Murder.
"Despite never having written a review before, I felt compelled to stop and share my thoughts about this book. The characters really leap out of the page to me, their humor and development are some of the best that I've ever read. The suspense was exceptionally well-paced, so much so that I found my suspicions flying from one character to the next."

"The characters in the Old Maids of Mercer Island books are just exactly that - characters. They are well developed and described and their antics lead them into endless situations which are funny and on occasion, hazardous."

"The story holds a lot of appeal as all the main gals are just normal women with keen wits and minds. Put them all together and they are a powerhouse."

Join Julia's two Dachshunds, her talking parrot, and the resident ghosts as they once again solve a murder.
