"Let's play a game, yeah? I ask you a question and if you don't give me the correct answer, you get shot. I like to call it the killing game," I smirk deviously. "And what do I get out of it, huh?" he snaps at me. I place my finger on my chin as if I was pondering what he had asked me. "Well, for starters, if you answer correctly, you don't get shot." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Once innocent Ava Cooper witnesses the death of her best friend at the age of fourteen, she begins seeking revenge on the men that were involved, tracking them down one by one and murdering them at age 21. She found pleasure in killing the men who ruined her deceased bestfriend's life and she didn't feel guilty about the fact either. . . to anyone else anyway. When she runs into West Livingston, her neighbor, she hates the fact that he won't stop trying to get her to open up and that he's distracting her from her sole purpose of being in Los Angeles: to avenge her best friend. They say opposites attract but what happens when people completely alike begin to fall for each other also? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Book Reviewed by #LetsWriteSkills Book Cover by @perseaphone Began writing: 03-03-17 Ended writing: 06-10-17 a novel by clffoconda™ ©

It's just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover-until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn't cut and dried-the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle's garden gnomes. Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne... reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about-he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer...before she's pushing up daisies, herself.
