Detective 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 stunt: 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.
I 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.
