Next Stop...Murder! - A Sleepy Carter Mystery - Book #9 (Scheduled Release: December 25, 2025)

Ms. Cecilia is dead. Lizzy's skills are reaching their peak. Sleepy Carter can sense that his secret is close to being exposed; he knows it's time to end the charade. But, just when Sleepy is on the verge of untangling the personal mystery that has baffled Lizzy for over a decade, the most confusing homicide of her career falls into her lap.

Emily Seveneau, a 65 year old "domestic worker" employed by a wealthy family in the Garden District, is murdered on a crowded St. Charles Avenue streetcar. There is no doubt that Emily is dead - the huge blood stain that covers her abdominal area is proof of that - but how was she murdered? Why was she murdered? When was she murdered? And more importantly...who murdered her?

There were 33 passengers on the streetcar when she boarded. No one exited before her lifeless body was discovered. Someone had to see something, but when every passenger is interviewed, not one lead is uncovered. Trying to find the killer will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Fortunately for Lizzy, her mentor (the supposedly dead, Donald "Sleepy" Carter), specializes in finding needles in haystacks.
