Dubious diamond devotees and a dead loan shark. With the dad she thought dead suspected of murder, can she keep him from doing hard time?

Elizabeth Trout thinks she must have rocks in her head. After receiving a crazy call that the father she never knew is cooling his heels in the local jail, the newlywed graphic designer posts bail and invites him home. But the family reunion loses its luster when she learns her old man is under suspicion for murder after he was found near a corpse.

With the sheriff zeroing in on her dad and no other suspects on ice, Elizabeth starts her own investigation to mine for evidence. But as greedy gem hunters, fossil fanatics, and shady scammers run amok, she must race to solve the homicide before she’s the one shafted.

Can she prove her father’s innocence before a rough-cut killer makes a glittering getaway?

Hook, Line, and Sinker is the hilarious third book in the Ozarks Lake Mystery cozy series. If you like big-hearted but excitable heroines, charismatic rogues, and uproarious plot twists, then you’ll love Marc Jedel’s jaunty jewel.

Excerpt from Hook, Line and Sinker: An Ozarks Lake Mystery (#3)

Kelsey turned to me with a sly smile. “I hung out with Carlita yesterday.”

“And . . .?” When she didn’t respond, I glanced at her again. “Spit it out already before your face freezes like that.”

She giggled. “She’s dating Trent on the Q.T.”

The car swerved onto the shoulder before I pulled it back. “Shut the front door, are you yanking my chain?”

“Whoa.” Kelsey braced herself after the fact.

“Oh, stop acting all dramatic—the road did that. Are they really?”

Kelsey nodded.

I held back on my instinctive response as I considered how I actually felt about this. After a moment, I said, “That’s great for them. They deserve it.”

Kelsey raised her eyebrows.

“Really!” I insisted. “I don’t feel that way about him—not for a lot of years. Jonas is my guy, forever and ever.” My expression softened as I thought about him.

“Duh,” she said. “Anyone who sees you two together would know that. I’m only surprised about how mature you sounded.”

“Shut up,” I retorted in a perfectly mature fashion. “Now spill the beans. How’d this happen?”

“Yes, I will shut up and spill the beans at the same time.” Kelsey laughed at me.

About Marc Jedel

Marc Jedel writes humorous murder mysteries. He credits his years of marketing leadership positions in Silicon Valley for honing his writing skills and sense of humor. While his high-tech marketing roles involved crafting plenty of fiction, these were just called emails, ads, and marketing collateral.

For most of Marc’s life, he’s been inventing stories. As he’s gotten older, he’s encountered more funny and odd people and situations. This has made it even easier for him to write what he knows and make up the rest. It’s a skill that’s served him well, both as an author and marketer.

The publication of Marc’s first novel, UNCLE AND ANTS, gave him permission to claim “author” as his job. This leads to much more interesting conversations than answering, “marketing.”

Like his characters Jonas and Elizabeth from the Ozarks Lake Mystery series, Marc grew up in the South and spent plenty of time in and around Arkansas. Like his character, Marty from the Silicon Valley Mystery series, Marc now lives in Silicon Valley, works in high-tech, and enjoys bad puns. Along with all his protagonists, Marc too has a dog, although his is neurotic, sweet, and small, with little appreciation for Marc’s humor.
