Compound a Problem: Connie Murphy Mystery #11

by BarbaraHelene Smith

Connie Murphy is a senior drug investigator with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. She is dedicated to protecting public health and safety, but while conducting seemingly routine inspections, intrigue and danger intervene.

In Compound a Problem , Connie follows up a consumer complaint and learns the company is making a nutritional supplement without FDA approval. The more questions she asks, the more pushback she gets. Her instincts tell her they are not disclosing everything. She suspects they may be doing something illegal and it is up to her to uncover what it is.

As you proceed through the series, Connie grows as an investigator, and you get to know her personality, interests, family, love life, and more. The Connie Murphy Mysteries are based on the author’s experience as an FDA investigator. Compound a Problem is the eleventh e-book in the series.
