Should Have Played Poker (A Carrie Martin and the Mah Jongg Players Mystery)

Carrie Martin’s precarious balancing of her corporate law job and visiting her
father at the Sunshine Village retirement home is upset when her mother appears,
out of the blue, twenty-six years after abandoning the family. Her mother leaves
her with a sealed envelope and the confession that she once considered killing
Carrie’s father. Carrie wants answers about her past from her father, but before
she can reach his room, she finds her mother murdered and the woman who helped
raise her seriously injured. Instructed to leave the sleuthing to the police,
Carrie’s efforts to discover why someone would target the two most important
women in her life quickly put her at odds with her former lover— the detective
assigned to her mother’s case. As Carrie and her co-sleuths, the Sunshine
Village Mah Jongg Players, unravel the secrets of their small town, Carrie
learns that what she was taught to believe and the truth might well be two
very different things.
