Description

Blood is thicker than oil--until murder is involved.

Fenway Stevenson doesn't want to return to the coastal town where her estranged father is practically king. But the death of her mother draws her back home--and the murder of the county coroner draws her into a deepening conspiracy. As the body count rises and all signs seem to point toward her father's oil company, will Fenway uncover the truth before family bonds become deadly?

About the Author

Paul Austin Ardoin is a California native who put his degree in creative writing to use--by authoring marketing materials for computer security companies for the better part of two decades. The Reluctant Coroner is his first novel. He has published short fiction and humorous essays in the anthologies Bottomfish and Sweet Fancy Moses, and articles about computer security in California Computer News and European Communications. When he's not writing novels or trying to save the world through better computer security, Paul plays keyboards in a dance rock band. He lives in the Sacramento area with his wife, two teenagers, and a menagerie of animals.

Reviews

"It's the perfect mystery for the #metoo era. Thank you, Fenway Stevenson, for reminding me that I like crime fiction. After finishing the book, I just have one question: when will the next one be out?"

--Derek McCaw, Fanboy Planet


"Paul Austin Ardoin has a hit on his hands with his debut novel. It's an engaging mystery with a propulsive plot--it should appeal to readers of the genre as well as people who just love a good story. It's clear to me Ardoin has written something wonderful."

--Michelle Damiani, Amazon bestselling author of Il Bel Centro and Santa Lucia

"Couldn't stop reading this one! I loved Paul Austin Ardoin's style of writing and can't wait to see what Fenway uncovers in the next book!"

--Tyson Wrensch, Amazon bestselling co-author of Until Someone Gets Hurt
