Mystery of the Drowned Driver - Lucky Lexie Mysteries, #3 - E-book - ePub

Was It an Accident-or Vengeance?When a fisherman spots a car in the river, it's the most exciting news during a slow week in Stirling Mills, and newspaper editor Lexie Lincoln is there to cover it. The cops think it was an accident, but a ghost on the scene tells Lexie the drowned driver got what he deserved for cheating her out of her land. Lexie figures the ghost got vengeance. There are just two problems: A ghost can't be prosecuted for murder, and the person the ghost named isn't one of the people found in the car.
Still, Lexie thinks it's worth digging into, and she discovers that someone has been taking advantage of elderly landowners. She'd have thought the town would rally behind her investigation of a real estate scam, but she finds herself standing alone. Her suspect has an eerie hold over everyone he encounters. If she doesn't find concrete proof that he committed a crime, she may get run out of town.
That's a real challenge when no one still alive will talk to her. And then there's still the case of the drowned driver and his passenger-was it an accident, or did the scheme lead to murder?
