Death Comes Too Soon: A Bridget O'hern Mystery

Bridget O Hern, a nonprofit consultant, goes to the Oregon coast to work a little and play a lot. At least, that s her intention. Her friend Bev Tilton, Oregon Coast Art League board member and B&B owner, wants Bridget to find out if the art league s executive director is embezzling funds. Bridget has doubts about accepting the assignment, but the lure of free lodging provided by her friend during tourist season is too appealing. Bridget is seeking her bliss since recovering from the tragic end of her twenty-three-year marriage, but in this instance, the road to bliss is littered with a body. Once again, as in Death Stalks the Khmer, Bridget finds herself helping the investigating police. In particular, she works with the interim police chief, Sam Alpern, who has his own dark history that he s overcoming, which gives the two something in common besides the case.
