Everything In Order

David Mercer went out for dinner. By the end of the night, he was dead.

The explanation seems obvious.

David had a severe food allergy. The restaurant knew about it. The warning had been documented. And somewhere between the kitchen and his table, something appears to have gone terribly wrong.

But Detective Erin Kelleher has learned not to confuse an obvious answer with a proven one.

As she reconstructs David's final days, the evidence begins pointing in more than one direction. A visitor lies about being at his house. A family argument turns out to have been uglier than anyone admitted. Financial pressure, missing details, and carefully maintained routines all begin to matter.

Each discovery seems to bring the case into sharper focus.

Until the next one changes what everything means.

And while suspicion spreads, people who may have done nothing wrong begin paying the price for a story the evidence has not yet finished telling.

In a case built from ordinary details, believable lies, and facts that refuse to stay in their proper places, Erin must determine not only what happened to David Mercer-but what she can actually prove.

Because evidence can be completely accurate...
and still tell the wrong story.

Everything in Order is a tense, character-driven crime novel about suspicion, proof, and the damage caused when a convincing explanation arrives before the truth.
