Robert Thornhill has hit it again! This time Walt Williams and his partner, Ox, are on a mission to stop a killer who commits the perfect crime.
It’s a fast-paced thriller that leaves you thinking; exactly what does it take to pull off the perfect crime and not get caught?
Fantastic page-turner written with a bit of humor and thought provoking plot.

Robert Thornhill’s 10th book in his mystery comedy series, Lady Justice and the Book Club Murders, finds Walt Williams and his Kansas City Police Department partner, Ox, called upon to help solve a string of violent murders that appear to be the work of a serial killer.
Labeled by the Kansas City STAR, as "The Librarian",since copies of murder mysteries are left at each crime scene, the killer thinks he is pulling off the perfect murders, but like in real life, that's very difficult to do.
Thornhill's quirky humor makes these more than just another mystery; it is a fun and fast read and deserves the term "cozy" as once again justice is served by the capture of the bad guy and it's safe to travel the streets of Kansas City.
