Marked Fur Murder
by Dixie Lyle
Kindle $1.99 Rating: 4.4 #ad
The victim is the sister of Deirdre’s boyfriend, Ben. The cause of death appears to be a plugged-in hair dryer that fell in the water. Ben, however, insists that a few volts couldn’t have killed Ann. Like him, she’s a descendent of the Cowichan tribe who, according to legend, has a way with lightning. One of the guests must have marked her for murder! But when the suspects include a Russian pet psychic, a schizophrenic writer, and a random rock star, it’s more than puzzling to Whiskey, Tango, and Foxtrot. It’s electrifying…from author Dixie Lyle.
