Something to Crow About

P.J. Benson is at it again.

Two weeks before her baby is due, P.J. enters a church bathroom and overhears Brenda Cox, a friend and former co-worker, tell someone on the phone that she was caught getting the information they wanted and barely got away. Thirty minutes later, P.J. and the five other women attending the Mothers-to-Be session held in the church hear police cars and an ambulance out front. The next day P.J. discovers the victim was Brenda. The police consider the hit-and-run accidental, but P.J. is certain Brenda was murdered. P.J.’s husband, Sheriff’s Deputy Wade Kingsley, warns her not to get involved, and she knows he’s right, but someone seems intent on involving her. Over the next few days, friends and family help and complicate P.J.’s life as she tries to understand what Brenda took and why she was killed.

Curiosity, however, can put a person’s life in danger, and one thing for sure, babies don’t wait for mysteries to be solved before arriving on the scene.
