MURDER MOST DESERVING by Hank Edwards & Deanna Wadsworth

MURDER MOST DESERVING—Lacetown Murder Mysteries: Case Two
By Hank Edwards & Deanna Wadsworth
We would like to give your readers something to smile about, an exclusive excerpt from our just upscoming gay rom-com murder mystery MURER MOST DESERVING—Lacetown Murder Mystery Case Two. —coming March 17th!
We had a lot of fun writing these two books together, and found an easy co-author groove, though Case Two was admittedly harder, which made for an all the more rewarding end product.
If you haven’t had a chance to meet Michael, Jazz, and their adorable mischievous fat kitty Mr. Pickles Furryton the Third, you are in for a treat. Michael is a shy mortician, and Jazz is a hairstylist and as sassy as his name suggests. They first fell head over heels for each other in MURDER MOST LOVELY, when they meet a book signing for Michael’s favorite author, Russel Withingham, who just so happens to be Jazz’s ex-husband and owes Jazz some money. Michael is taken immediately with Jazz, and though a gruesome murder draws them together, romance still blooms as they investigate the murder behind the grouchy sheriff’s back and try to rescue poor Mr. Pickles when he is cat-napped by the bad guys.
Case Two finds Michael and Jazz happily settling into domestic bliss **Spoiler** Mr. Pickles is just fine and loves having two daddies. The romance is still going strong, hot, and passionate, but another murder mystery has cast its shadow over our delightful heroes, and the cast of zany characters that inhabit Lacetown.

An acoustic music festival comes to Lacetown, and with it, another dead body—this one found at Fleishman’s Funeral Home. Michael recuses himself from the autopsy, handing the job over to his arch-nemesis from a neighboring county.
Luckily Michael and local hairstylist Jazz are closer than ever. Between a trio of funerals, a blowout BBQ, and a couple of trips on Beulah, Jazz’s beloved scooter, Michael and Jazz do some sleuthing of their own. With the first gruesome murder still fresh in their memories, they can’t help but wonder if notorious murderer and famous author Russell Withingham might be targeting them from jail, where he’s awaiting trial.
The festival, however, brings in a veritable lineup of potential killers, including a familiar—and most unwelcome—figure from their past. As the murderer circles ever closer to Jazz and Michael, Sheriff Musgrave is quick to remind them that everyone’s a suspect until Sheriff Musgrave says they’re not!
