A prison guard. A postmaster. A Forest Service employee. A U.S. Department of Agriculture employee. All murdered. They worked for the federal government, but so do a lot of other people. What else did they share?Seems like a serial killer is on the loose. And it looks like he’s targeting the sleepy community of Red Cedar. When one of the Red Cedar Spa’s guests is murdered, Liz has no choice but … choice but to team up with an FBI agent to help solve the murders.
And with a chief of police who is far more interested in catching speeders than he is in catching murderers, someone has to do his job. Maybe Liz should run for chief of police!

Murdered by Prejudice: A Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery Series ((Liz Lucas Mystery #10)), my eighth read/listen from author Dianne Harman and my third read in this series. Well-written and developed, drawing on earlier books in the series. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Kasey Logan’s narration adds to an excellent book’s enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018)
This review is for the audio book.
This is a very different book for this author to tackle. Dianne’ s murders are normally single acts of jealousy, revenge, greed or profit, so to have a serial killer on the lose is a very nice change and I loved it. Liz instead of having to find the motive behind one death and occasionally two deaths, has to find the link between all the victims. There wasn’t the normal several suspects to keep you guessing but there is clues and that has you wondering how long it will before Liz catches on and of course the love able dogs are included. I hope the author keeps these fun mystery coming.
When the husband of one of her guests fails to show up for there anniversary dinner, Liz isn’t to concerned, people get held up all the time. Then she gets the call from the sheriff asking her to inform the wife that she is now a widow, as he is too busy writing traffic tickets. Appalled by his behaviour Liz follows up with the medical examiner on the wife’s behalf only to find out that his body wasn’t the first body killed that way to arrive on his table and the F.B.I has been called in. With the time between bodies dropping shortening the agent, who is good friends with Liz’s husband, asks for her help as she knows the lay of the land and helped solve cases before. Can Liz work out the connect between the deaths? They all received letters with an eagle on saying they will be next, but there has to be a reason they were targets, if only she can work it out.
I like the narrator, she has read a number of Dianne’s books and I Have found her to pleasant and enjoyable every time.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
What is one to do when the Sheriff of your town really does nothing-is really only good for giving out traffic tickets-and there has been a murder. The man murdered was the husband of one of the Red Cedar Spa’s guests. Liz starts to ask around hoping to find this killer–who has now killed several other people. Her husband is against this–but when his FBI friend asks if she can help—-And it seems that both the FBI friend and some others think Liz should run for Sheriff—she is astounded–her husband says no!
I love the charactor’s in this series–particularly the woman who owns the best burger place in town who is instrumental in figuring out who this, by now, serial killer is–she knows everything that goes on in that town and loves to gossip! Then there is Liz’s friend who comes for a visit. She is a man magnet and the FNI agent falls—
So who is this serial killer and why is is killing–will Liz and the FBI agent figure it out in time to stop another murder?
Brandy is instrumental in catching the killer–but it is the boxer who saves Liz’s life!!
And as usual the recipes at the end of the novel are ones that you will really want to try out for yourself!
