Death on Covert Circle (Secret Sleuth mystery series, Book 4)

A reviled supermarket CEO meets his expiration date
The executive who’s responsible for widely hated changes at the biggest grocery store in Haines Tavern, Kentucky, arrives for a tour  … and doesn’t leave alive. Sheila Mackey and her friend Clara Woodrow are on the scene -- buying dog treats, of course – and on the case. Can they pick out the ingredients for the right solution?

This whodunit with humor is the fourth book in USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn’s cozy mystery series, Secret Sleuth, which begins with a murder on a transatlantic cruise in Death on the Diversion. In Death on Torrid Avenue and later books, accidental investigator Sheila Mackey returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new home in small-town Kentucky.
