Malpractice Makes Perfect
When heiress Alexis Dupont asks part-time P.I Evie Harper to search her sisters room for an expensive missing heirloom it seems like an easy gig to give Evie a little pocket change and a look into the life of one of her business idols. Instead, Evie finds a family haunted by the death of their matriarch, whose sporadic ramblings point to murder. But why would someone risk killing a woman rapidly dying of disease? And can Evie prove there was a murder when her body is already dead and buried? With the go ahead from Alexis, Evie is determined to put to rest all doubts into Diana Dupont's odd death and give the family the closure it needs. But did the illness take her, or was there foul play? And most importantly, will she ever get paid? Evie Harper Mysteries: Book 4Завершенная история
The Mysterious Case of Eileen Vermont
Death was a natural phenomenon of life. Eileen Vermont's death should not have mattered to me, but it did. Because 1. she was one of the few people I talked to in this town, 2. she was only 17 years old, and children of her age don't die everyday, and 3. because she had left me some clues about her death. Read The Mysterious Case of Eileen Vermont to find out about how a twenty year old, boring college-goer unraveled the secret behind Eileen's mysterious murder.Завершенная история
The Body in the Hole
Someone dumped a body in an open grave at the cemetery, and the undertaker isn't happy about it. But he isn't happy about the police trying to solve it, either. In fact, the undertaker tries to solve it himself. The undertaker's name is Yvgeny, and Yvgeny is an unlikeable and morally ambiguous Sherlock Holmes aficionado who lives with his mother in a mortuary in middle-Georgia. He wears Victorian era dress and speaks with a Polish accent. Don't let Yvgeny's career choice scare you away from the story- while some of Yvgeny's antics will make you cringe, there is nothing gory or violent. The story begins with Yvgeny preparing for a funeral. He gets annoyed when he discovers someone dumped a body into a grave he had dug for someone else. Always looking for a way to make an extra buck, he hauls the body back to his office to inspect. After filching a nice watch, he calls the police. Of course, Yvgeny doesn't like the police, and he eventually decides to solve the crime himself. With his love for Sherlock Holmes and inflated ego, he estimates his chances of solving the crime are far higher than those of the detectives. Yvgeny teams up with a motley assortment of not always like-minded characters in this small Georgia town, trying to stay one step ahead as the detectives close in. The local talent includes the mentally deficient one-eyed owner of the army-navy surplus store and the local doctor/deputy coroner who is a recovering hippie with a Tom Selleck fetish. In the middle of everything, Yvgeny falls for the crude and vulgar granddaughter of an old man buried in his cemetery. She is turned off by his bizarre fashion and strange interests, but Yvgeny is persistent. Will he solve the crime? Will he get the girl? Read and find out!Завершенная история
