Ricky Steele is back, “Stalking Evil” in book 6 of this Mystery Series!!
Hunter or hunted? Murder, mayhem, and chaos at Gentle Folks over fifty community! At fifty something herself, private investigator Ricky Steele has resolved to take only routine, dull cases. This decision lasts about thirty seconds when a routine insurance investigation at Gentle Folks turns into a double homicide. In addition to searching for killers, Ricky and her team take on a missing persons case, which may or may not be related.
What were two retired biological engineers, residents at Gentle Folks, doing mixed up with a sleazy realtor and a large tract of land north of the city? More importantly, why did their work get them killed? Where is very pregnant, Marty Becker, lawyer and former fiancée of Ricky’s friend Ron Harp? What are the connections between her law firm and the murder victim’s shady real estate transactions? Ricky and her colleagues, bodyguard Wilda, and Wilda’s muscle Spike and Frank, are joined by a new partner, former client and Ricky’s junior high school classmate, Celeste Higginbottom. A flamboyant dresser, Celeste, fresh out of a six-week PI school and packing a Glock, proves to be a surprisingly valuable member of the team, bringing bravery as well as lightness and humor to the story’s darkest moments.
Like all the Ricky Steele books, Stalking Evil has at its heart, friendship, and a supportive, caring community. Come join Ricky and friends for another rollicking adventure!
A New Mystery Series Begins!
The Labyrinth Walk, book 1 of the Mapletree Club Mysteries is here! Grab your copy of this rollicking, heartstopping, cozy mystery!
A spin-off of the beloved and cozy Roger and Bess Mysteries, The Labyrinth Walk is the first book in a new cozy series, The Mapletree Murder Club Mysteries. Set in the Leeside Folk Villages, an over fifty-five community, the oceanside area is home to a group of mature amateur sleuths. When a resident is murdered, their mystery book club decides to investigate. All retired, the seven group members have unique skills, talents and backgrounds—a former investigator for Homeland Security, doctor, librarian, and writers among them. Along with efforts to build a beautifully landscaped labyrinth on Leeside grounds, the would-be sleuths sometimes bumbling, sometimes wily efforts tax the patience of Roger Demaris and his regional homicide team, RHD (central characters from the original series). RHD steps in to assist local police and the groups, including the Mapletree Club members, eventually team up to track a ruthless killer.
