Praise for A Lovely Murder

"In this much-anticipated follow-up to A Lovely County, author Lori Ericson's flair for suspense has never been greater—with A Lovely Murder, she has created a razor-sharp thriller that rarely pauses for breath. Like an arrow, the trajectory of taut pacing never wavers, aimed for the bullseye of one tense and satisfying conclusion."
~ M.G. Miller, author of Murderous

Lori Ericson grew up in her family-owned cemetery and spent years as a newspaper reporter but isn't sure which experience helped more to shape the dark stories that spill from her head. The author and her husband, Lloyd, live in Northwest Arkansas with their rescue dog, Charlie, where she drags them both off to walk through old cemeteries occasionally. Lloyd insists those walks occur during the daylight hours.
      A Lovely Murder received The President's Award and First Place in the Unpublished Manuscript contest from Ozarks Writers League in 2015. A Lovely County, the first novel in the Lovely series, was published in January 2015. Look for A Lovely Grave in 2017 from Pen-L Publishing.
