Former cocktail waitress and now psychologist Chrissy
McMullen believes she is a magnet who draws unsolved murder
cases her way. After the last fiasco that possibly has sunk
her relationship with LAPD Lieutenant Jack Rivera, Chrissy
promises she will renounce murder and concentrate on her
practice.
When Jack's estranged father, Senator Rivera, shows up at
her door asking her to look into the accidental death of an
acquaintance, Chrissy would not have agreed if she hadn't
needed money for her ruptured septic system. Practicality
and reality temporarily triumph over her resolutions. As
she looks into the accidental death, Chrissy does not find
any indications of murder. Then another accidental death
occurs. Suddenly, Chrissy finds too many coincidences to
discount the probability of murder.
Chrissy fails to get Jack on board with an investigation.
Where his father is concerned, Jack's rage overcomes his
objectivity. Relying on old and new friends, Chrissy
tackles the inquiry into the "accidents." The clues are
few, but Chrissy's instincts scream that there is a
connection. Balancing her fledging practice and her
disastrous love life, she attempts to find the thread that
ties it all together without losing her mind.
Ms. Greiman's Chrissy McMullen mystery series is a laugh-a-
minute and an entertaining good time on par with Janet
Evanovich's Stephanie Plum. The chemistry sizzles and
nearly burns the pages as Jack and Chrissy continue to spar
in their unconsummated relationship. Something always
interferes at just the wrong moment! New and more eccentric
characters are added to the mix making this read more fun
than eating a pan of brownies. The talented Ms. Greiman
produces not only a humorous read but also a captivating,
page-turning mystery, as well.
In southern California it’s raining crime—and psychologist
Christina McMullen could use an umbrella. Her clients are
crazy, her on-again-off-again relationship with LAPD
lieutenant Jack Rivera has just started heating up again,
and now Rivera’s womanizing dad has come calling—asking
Chrissy to investigate a mysterious death that might haunt
his next campaign: for president of the United States.
Soon Chrissy is investigating not one “accidental” death,
but two—until she stumbles on a trail of bodies littering
Senator Rivera’s distinguished career. As she untangles a
web of high-stakes lies, Chrissy believes that she’s found
the secret to a serial killer’s underground campaign. The
killer has a list, a motive, and the perfect disguise—the
only question is: who’s next?
