About the Book

MURDER IN LA JOLLA (A Sadie Brown Mystery) by P. Austin Heaton finds a circa 1920s news reporter digging into suspicious activity when her husband is injured in a car accident and the driver shot in the head. Colorful descriptions of period landmarks and scenery add to the well-crafted storyline, bringing readers to a satisfying, yet unexpected, conclusion. - Review by "IndieReader"

This feels a little more serious than the previous books in the series. The backdrop is the aftermath of WW1, and the stakes are high, with Sadie's husband in danger.
It's kind of a mystery and redemption story rolled into one. I liked the unusual way flashbacks were used. It keeps you at a slight distance from the sad parts yet leaves you with burning questions to keep you turning the pages. I found the conclusion very satisfying. --- 5-Star Review from Author, Deborah Grant-Dudley, author of the Lost Mysteries series.

The events of the Great War were not confined to the battlefields. Farmers bringing in their crops and men and women working in necessary jobs were impacted too. Roger Siebert and Isaac Buckley learned this firsthand when they volunteered as photographers to document the work of the American Red Cross in France.

They also found that long after a peace agreement has been signed, anger still simmers just below the surface. And simmering anger always finds a way to explode.

In 1921, when Sadie Brown receives a visit from the police, she is informed that her husband was a passenger in an automobile that went over a bluff in La Jolla, California. The driver, a Frenchman working for the Los Angeles French Consulate, was dead and Roger was in the hospital in a coma. It's quickly determined that this wasn't an accident. The Frenchman had a bullet hole in his head.

This fourth book in the Sadie Brown mystery series brings together Sadie, her husband Roger, and friends Isaac Buckley and Evan Greenway as they investigate a mystery full of greed, blackmail, and murder.

The novel has just the right amount of fun history and humor. Readers of Louise Penny, Jacqueline Winspear, and Agatha Christie will find this a fun read.

NOTE: The storyline contains no battle scenes or gratuitous violence.
