Murder Without a Duck

Sal, a recently divorced and temporarily suspended lawyer, relocates to the small town of Simpato in Northern California to her parents' old home, vacant since their deaths. Looking for privacy, a reprieve from her life, and a fresh start, instead she's quickly immersed into the small-town gossip mill of characters who all know more about her than she does of them. When a murder happens minutes from the spot where she is hiking, Sal finds herself dangerously plunged into the epicenter of the town's long-held hometown secrets.







Wine, gossip, intrigue, and cannabis-cookie-selling-nuns thrive in abundance in Simpato, California, along with plenty of awful duck puns! All Sal has to do is survive.
