It's springtime in Washington, D.C. and congressional staffer Kit Marshall has more on her plate than she can handle. With her boss campaigning for an open U.S. Senate seat, Kit is left to run the office in her absence and manage a new week long American history extravaganza filled with high-profile events, lectures, and receptions.

When the Director of the Capitol Visitor's Center ends up dead, Kit springs into action to clear a longtime friend, who becomes the prime suspect in the murder. With her best pal Meg pressuring her to solve the mystery quickly, Kit must figure out how to navigate her closest relationships while keeping an eye out for the diabolical killer.

The investigation takes Kit across the city to famous locations, including Georgetown University, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the White House.

When the killer strikes a second time, the pressure to solve the crimes intensifies. Has our favorite Capitol Hill sleuth finally met her match? In the end, Kit learns the hard way that history tends to repeat itself, often with deadly consequences.

Praise for the Series

“The mystery is perplexing—for Kit and company, and for me—and well done. I was impressed by the complexity of the murder plot. I enjoyed the political theme, and all the details about lobbyists.” —Jane Reads “To someone who has mastered that uniquely Washington skill of bobbling two cell phones and a glass of wine without spilling a drop, solving a murder is practically child’s play.” —HillRag “A solid choice for political junkies and readers of ­Maggie ­Sefton, Fred Hunter, and Mike Lawson.” —Library Journal “The fourth volume in author Colleen J. Shogan’s simply outstanding ‘Washington Whodunit’ series, K Street Killing is a consistently entertaining read with many an unexpected twist and turn by a true master of the genre.” —Midwest Book Review “Shogan does a good job depicting the creaky, squeaky wheels of government, and Marshall plays politics and sleuth with equal dexterity in this capital Capitol Hill mystery.” —Publishers Weekly “Loads of inside scoop about the workings of Senate offices—complete with all the gossiping, back-stabbing, and procedural maneuvering—plus an appealing young sleuth, sprightly pacing, and an edge-of-your-seat showdown on the Hart-Dirksen underground train.” —Literary Hill “An excellent whodunit…. I was really impressed with this very smart story. The author is a former Senate staffer so she is writing what she knows, less the murder, I hope.” —Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book “Readers who enjoy amateur sleuth mysteries written in the style of Agatha Christie will enjoy this promising debut mystery.” —The Washington Independent Review of Books TOUR PARTICIPANTS August 8 – Novels Alive – SPOTLIGHT August 8 – My Reading Journeys – SPOTLIGHT August 9 – Maureen's Musings – SPOTLIGHT August 9 – Sapphyria's Book Reviews – SPOTLIGHT August 10 – Books a Plenty Book Reviews – REVIEW, GUEST POST August 10 – Island Confidential – SPOTLIGHT August 11 – #BRVL Book Review Virginia Lee Blog – SPOTLIGHT August 12 – Reading, Writing & Stitch-Metic – GUEST POST August 12 – Celticlady's Reviews – SPOTLIGHT August 13 – Brooke Blogs – SPOTLIGHT August 14 – Ruff Drafts – SPOTLIGHT August 15 – Socrates Book Reviews – SPOTLIGHT August 16 – Christy's Cozy Corners – AUTHOR INTERVIEW August 17 – Girl with Pen – SPOTLIGHT August 17 – Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book – REVIEW August 18 – Literary Gold – AUTHOR INTERVIEW August 18 – Ascroft, eh? – AUTHOR INTERVIEW August 19 – MJB Reviewers – SPOTLIGHT August 19 – Diane Reviews Books – GUEST POST August 20 – The Mystery of Writing – AUTHOR INTERVIEW August 21 – Lady Hawkeye – SPOTLIGHT August 21 – BookishKelly2020 – SPOTLIGHT August 21 – The Mystery Section – SPOTLIGHT   a Rafflecopter giveaway Have you signed up to be a Tour Host?
