Fatal Fire by Marla Bradeen Spotlight!

Cozy, Chick-Lit Mystery

When biomedical researcher Gina Wagner dies in a cooking fire, her sister Amy becomes suspicious. Not only does Gina never cook, but her laboratory burned down just one week prior. The two events lead Amy to conclude that someone wants Gina's research study stopped.

Amy is not the only one questioning her sister's death. Trent Steinbeck, Gina's colleague, also wants answers. As they work to uncover what really happened that fateful night, Amy finds her attraction deepening as much as their investigation. But to get to the truth, Trent may need to put himself in danger. And if they can't figure out what's going on before he becomes the next victim, Amy might soon find herself seeking justice for two deaths.

Marla Bradeen previously worked as a software consultant and analyst. In 2012, she gave up a traditional job for no other reason than to have more time to pursue personal interests, such as sleeping in late and taking naps. Although she misses seeing regular deposits into her bank account, she hasn't once regretted that decision.

She didn't initially intend to begin writing novels, but after several weeks of doing nothing, she realized sleeping all day isn't as easy or enjoyable as her cats led her to believe. Over the ensuing months, she wrote Lethal Injection , which she self-published in 2013.
