A Necessary Murder Book Two in the Heloise Chancey Mysteries by M.J. Tija

It starts with a little girl murdered in the outhouse.  Then men begin dying of a slit throat.  What's going on?

Pantera Press and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can buy a copy now.

As more men die, Heloise's mother gets more upset.  She's afraid her nephew might be the killer.  Heloise has several suspects but then they end up dead.

The cause for the retribution lays in the past and it takes some digging to get to the truth.  Heloise almost ends up dead herself.

This was a good mystery even if the deaths were grotesque.  You can try to bury the past but it doesn't always stay that way...
