The Price of Candy (Sandy Reid Mystery Series)

When Sandy Reid learns the police have closed the case of an abused body found on the beach after finding no usable evidence and no suspects, she feels compelled to discover the identity of the woman, expose what actually happened on that secluded beach that night, and find the perpetrator.

The almost-too-clever young law student must confront the prominent Congressman who gave the beautiful hitchhiker a ride to Florida, and avoid becoming the second victim while she unscrambles a related child kidnapping that the mother won't report, and clears herself of a murder charge that threatens to destroy her dream of becoming a lawyer.

Along the way, she discovers she has fallen victim to a sensuous passion of her own. This fast-paced murder mystery is the sequel to ONE DEADLY SISTER and the second in the mystery series with Sandy Reid the sassy protagonist and amateur sleuth. The third book in the series is SUCH WICKED FRIENDS.
