Some Like It Lethal
Nancy Martin
“A smart and sophisticated new series.”— Jane
Heller
Just when I thought my life couldn’t get any more chaotic,
I’m proved wrong. My new dog, Spike, is a tiny terror. My
demented sister, Libby, is dealing with the effects of
recent childbirth by trying to locate the “goddess within”
(whatever that is)…and my tough-guy boyfriend is
gallivanting through Scotland on a fishing trip (or is
he?). Oh, and one of Philadelphia’s rich and infamous was
just found brutally murdered. With all this going on, who
has time to write for the society pages?
When Rush Strawcutter, the husband of a wealthy dog food
heiress, is found bludgeoned to death in a horse stall at
an exclusive hunt club, Nora Blackbird is as surprised as
anyone. Her surprise turns to shock when her sister, Emma,
is discovered nearby, unconscious and badly bruised. Worse
still, the evidence points toward a devious blackmail
scheme—with Emma as the main suspect. Investigating with
the help of friend and foe alike, Nora inadvertently
uncovers the scandalous secrets of some of Philadelphia’s
high-and-mightiest—and attracts the unwanted attentions of
the real killer…
