Deadly Relations: A Detective Jack Harney Murder Mystery
Jack Harney’s plan to attend the wedding of his good friends, Katherine and Scott, up in Virginia City is put into jeopardy when a man is murdered mere hours after Jack’s arrival. Tourism has been slow lately, so the city’s Mayor plans a publicity Bring together the descendent of a popular madam murdered one hundred and fifty years ago and the descendent of the man thought to be her killer. The event is called, the Reconciliation. Unfortunately, or not, depending on your point of view, the killer’s descendent is murdered at the opening ceremony. There is no shortage of suspects. The town’s Sheriff is taken ill, so it’s up to Jack and Gaga Albright to try to find the killer.
Meanwhile, back in Reno, Nene Albright—mischievous as always, views her sister’s absence as a chance to do something Gaga would not approve of--travel with Victor Burch, of all people, up to a Lake Tahoe ski resort. They encounter strange occurrences, sinister looking men, and something odd is definitely going on. Burch just wants to ski but, he can’t very well let Nene investigate on her own, can he?
Will Jack find the killer in time to attend Scott and Katherine’s wedding? Will Nene and Burch discover why rooms are off limits and unsavory looking men are sneaking around the ski lodge? Only one way to find out.

About the author
MaryAnn Kempher
16 books76 followersI get most of my exercise these days by shaking my head. Unknown author.
Boy, can I relate, but I try to focus on what's in front of me, usually cake. Da Dum Dum.
Anyway, I'm obviously an author. I served 20 years in the US Air Force and soon after retirement came up with the idea for my first book--which I promptly discarded. It was about insurance fraud and trust me, they make it very hard to steal their money, so I had to come up with a different idea.
Book one is mostly a romantic comedy with a murder mystery thrown in, and while I think it's pretty good especially for a first book, I discovered I enjoyed writing the mystery of the book the most.
So, books two through eight are mysteries.
All the books have a lot of humor in them.
With the exception of book two, which takes place on board an ill-fated cruise ship, my books are set in Reno NV where I spent my teenage years, or some of them anyway.
Enjoy!

I enjoyed this book very much.
This book was very entertaining and I really enjoyed it. The characters are great.
Jack and Gaga are heading to Virginia City to attend the wedding of Scott and Katherine, while Nene is left behind to run the bakery. The minute Gaga and Jack leave, Nene is on the phone with Victor Burch planning her own get away.
Jack is asked by the local sheriff to look into a robbery at the bank, but before they can figure that out the sheriff has been hospitalized and a man is dead. Everyone is sure that they have been poisoned.
There is no way in or out of Virginia City due to a huge snow storm. A call is placed to the Reno police department and they have asked Jack to investigate until they can get there.
Full of action, and a great read !!

Deadly reactions
I loved this book. The sisters who own the building that private detective Harney has his agency in are always up to something. A murder and a bank robbery and stuck at a mountain resort where one of the sisters and a friend are at For skiing.
The story line keeps you wanting to read more and not stop.
