About the Book



When a young woman is found dead, Brookville's idyllic façade starts to crumble. The Lady Dragons of Brookville join forces to find the killer and become the voice for the dead. 



Book Synopsis



The quaint town of Brookville was just what Trixie Tanner needed for a fresh start. The condominium brochure promised, "Your vacation destination for everyday living," and so far, it was true. She loved her new condo, the charming town, and her new life.


But during Trixie's early morning run, all that changed. A piercing scream shattered the morning tranquility and the illusion. When the body of a young woman is discovered murdered on the condominium trail, Brookville's idyllic façade starts to crumble.


Despite warnings from law enforcement and the formidable medical examiner, Trixie and her new friends Martha, a quirky CSI-wannabe, and Kathleen, a prim and proper retired schoolteacher, the Lady Dragons of Brookville join forces to find the killer and become the voice for the dead.   



Review Quotes




"Three strangers-women of a certain age-happen upon a murder victim. The accidental discovery launches a delightful cozy mystery featuring an unlikely sisterhood of sleuths. Author Karen Fritz delivers a compelling plot with generous sides of laughter and romance. Lady Dragons of Brookville reveals how life's later chapters can kindle a new zest for life." -Linda Lovely, author of the HOA Mystery Series


"Mix a condo community, murder, three middle-aged ladies determined to find themselves anew, as well as the killer of a young woman, and you have mystery, murder, and a touch of mayhem. Karen Fritz's The Lady Dragons of Brookville is a delightful and engaging read populated by an interesting cast of characters who you'll be sorry to see go when you reach the book's last page." - Award-winning author Debra H. Goldstein


"Karen Fitz delivers a fast paced read that will keep readers turning the pages.  It was fun watching Trixie, Martha and Kathleen join forces to become the Lady Dragons of Brookville after they discover a body on the grounds of their condo development. Their varied backgrounds made them an interesting crew with a variety of skills as they set out to find the killer.  It is a satisfying book with characters you can root for and a plot that makes the book impossible to put down." - Betty Hechtman, National Bestselling author of KILLER HOOKS


"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

1. Strong female friendships-check. 2. Middle-aged, relatable female protagonists-check. 3. Loads of thrills-check. 4. Lots of laughs-check. 5. A twisty mystery, suspenseful enough to keep me guessing, not creepy enough to keep me from sleeping-check. 6. Empowered women constructing new lives atop the wreckage of divorce, widowhood, and missed opportunities-check.

Three unlikely friends-to-be cross paths over a dead body in the woods and follow up the tragedy with the sort of female bonding that only too many mimosas and whisky-laced morning coffees can induce. The empowered gal pals share a history of shattered dreams, but they're determined to protect their future happiness, their threatened small town, and each other from a brutal murderer. The Lady Dragons of Brookville are breathing fire and on a quest to slay a killer. Loved it!" - Gabrielle St. George, Award-winning author of the Ex-Whisperer Files series. 

"When a timid Southern belle, a forensics-obsessed bossy librarian, and a woman bent on hiding her past all stumble upon a dead body, they throw caution and common sense to the wind and join forces to find the killer. However, it soon becomes clear that their seemingly idyllic small town hides many secrets, and as their investigation digs deeper, the body count rises in this cozy Southern Gothic mystery." - Lois Winston, author of the bestselling Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries
