Kyle goes inside Office Right Staffing where the temps and the work are just murder.
The holidays have arrived but Kyle Shannon isn’t feeling festive. Her lover may be leaving, and her friend Tiffany is in the financial pits.
Things aren’t right at Office Right, either. On assignment within the company, she finds bottoming sales, temps with attitude, and a boss as frosty as a snowman.
Then somebody murders a manager and all the ho-ho-ho goes up the chimney.
Forced to add “find the killer” to their holiday wish list, Kyle and Detective Ian Page face a jumble of confusing facts until a tragic accident forces them to look at the case from a new perspective.
This Christmas will be a slay-ride for sure.
Excerpt
The Office Right branch was outside Ian’s routine jurisdiction but not that of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force, of which he was a member. The task force went to whatever community requested it, providing manpower and expertise to support small suburban police forces when something big happened. A murder, for example, might require twenty to forty people to work it properly. Counting all three shifts, most suburban forces had sworn officer counts well below that. If there had been a break-in at the office, the task force evidence collection team plus a couple of detectives would be called in. That would include Ian Page.
What a bunch of BS.
In rationalizing the reason for Ian’s call, I had used the very word I wanted so much to avoid. I tried hard to talk myself into something I knew wasn’t true and it hadn’t worked.
Only one thing would involve the task force at Ian’s level and only one thing would make him call me at home at that time of night. Aki Tanaka was dead. And she didn’t die in a hospital. If she had, Ian would be home watching basketball with Tim.
Amateur sleuth and cobbler Fulton Moon (yes, his nickname is Full Moon) encounters beautiful and sinister Lucinda Mathews. Lucy, wife of prominent florist Arthur Mathews, wants to escape an abusive husband and Moon only wants to help. It isn’t that
Taylor Reigler moves to Indiana in order to reopen a campground she inherited. She finds decades of grime, waist high grass, and a few resident ghosts.
