For a traveling nurse, that's a bad problem to have. An even worse problem is waking up from a cat nap to find her homebound client, the country's #1 true crime podcaster, dead... and half the police force at the front door. As the only other person in the house, Mercy knows she's in a world of trouble.
With stacks of investigative notes for an upcoming podcast, she doesn't have access to, a growing list of suspects, a mysterious neighbor, who may or may not be a stalker, the police breathing down her neck, and her worried husband desperate for her to return home, Mercy has a lot on her proverbial plate, and none of it is particularly appetizing. As she searches for answers, the body count grows at an alarming rate and all roads lead to her.
Can she catch a killer and clear her name before the heinous crimes are pinned on her?
Cardiac Arrest is the eleventh title in the Mercy Mares Cozy Mystery Series. Each can be read as a standalone.

Oh, and let's not forget about my adorable fur baby, Chacha! As a dedicated dog mom, my pup is my loyal sidekick in all my adventures. We solve mysteries together, well, mostly she just steals my snacks and barks at suspicious squirrels. But hey, every detective needs a trusty companion, right?
Now, let's address the elephant in the room—I have no filter. I say it like it is, with a sprinkle of snark and a whole lot of sass. If you can't handle a dash of brutal honesty, then buckle up, my friend, because you're in for a wild ride. But don't worry, I promise to make you laugh along the way!
