Fenway Stevenson Mysteries

Blood is thicker than oil—until murder threatens everything. Fenway Stevenson swore she'd never go back to Estancia. But after losing her mother and her job in one devastating week, she's left with no options and forced to ask her estranged father for help. That means returning to the coastal California town where he wields near-absolute power as the head of the region's largest oil company—and where Fenway is viewed as an outsider at best, and a political pawn at worst.

Coroner Fenway Stevenson thought she was beginning to find her footing in Estancia. The coastal California town still sees her as an outsider—especially with her powerful father pulling strings behind the scenes—but she's starting to earn the trust of her team. Then the mayor is found dead in a run-down motel room, and everything changes. As she digs into the investigation, Fenway finds herself stonewalled by those who once supported her. Political tensions simmer beneath the surface, and her father is quietly pressuring her to back his preferred candidate for the next coroner election.

Smart, gripping, and bristling with tension, The Candidate Coroner is the third explosive installment in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. With its sharp forensic detail, complex characters, and emotional stakes, this is a murder mystery for listeners who crave both heart and grit.

The local university's Shakespeare troupe already had plenty of drama. Then their manager was murdered. Fresh off her election win, Fenway Stevenson is ready to focus on her job as county coroner. But just hours after claiming victory, she's called to Nidever University, where the manager of a Shakespeare production has been found dead in a stairwell. The scene looks accidental—until Fenway spots signs of a struggle.

A dead man in a tub, an unemotional widow, and an accused young lover complicate Coroner Fenway Stevenson's latest case, where the veneer of suburban utopia has clearly cracked.
