Description

A Little Laughter. A Little Mayhem. A Little MURDER...

For Readers of cozy mysteries, humorous mysteries and police procedurals.

A robbery gone wrong, Detective Joe Rafferty thought, when the latest murder victim, wealthy widow, Clara Mortimer was found battered to death in her home. Then Rafferty learned she wasn’t a widow at all – and her estranged husband was living in the same block under a false name.
*
But that's not the only suspicious aspect of the case: Clara Mortimer's family add another complication, not eased either by their several deceptions or by the difficulties in Rafferty's personal life, which, as always, seems to be guided by a malign fate and take his eye off the investigatory ball. But could he help it if his automatic reaction when his live-in girlfriend Abra said she might be pregnant, wasn't exactly New Man?
*
Their investigation brings Rafferty and Llewellyn face to face with just how down and dirty families can be... and not just the families of murder victims.
