I, however, will recommend a
brand new one for you: BROKE, An Imogene Duckworthy Mystery, the third in the
series. It's just out this month and involves a haunted house, a ghost, a
mystery or two, and a potbelly pig. What could be better?
Imogene Duckworthy is twenty-two
and has a job (PI assistant) and a new car (used). She loves her
mother, but it's time she was on her own. The problem is her
daughter Nancy Drew Duckworthy’s pet potbelly. Not a lot of rentals in Wymee
Falls will permit a pig, even one as cute and charming as
Marshmallow. Jersey Shorr of Shorr Realty manages to find something but
there are rumors that the house is haunted. Immy tells herself she
doesn’t believe in ghosts. She signs the contract and plans to move in before
Halloween. What she doesn’t plan on is the very real, very dead body
in the bathtub. And the fact that the most logical murder suspect is
her Uncle Dewey, fresh out of prison. Immy can’t allow her long-lost
relative to be railroaded for a crime he (possibly) didn’t commit, can she?
If you haven't read any
Duckworthy mysteries yet, give this one a try! It's available in all formats,
e-book and paperback. Kindle is here, http://www.amazon.com/Broke-Imogene-Duckworthy-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B009K99WQK/
and the rest of the links are on my Novel Page. http://kayegeorge.com/novels.html
BROKE--definitely. It'll be even better if you've already read CHOKE.
ReplyDeleteThanks, twitw! I could also suggest SMOKE, but it has a 4th of July theme. :)
