Things just haven't gone right lately for Nora Blackbird or her two sisters. Her wealthy parents have escaped to a safe tax offshore tax haven, leaving her holding a two million dollar tax bill for the family home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; her husband has been shot dead by his drug dealer, and she's had to start a new job as an assistant society columnist for a Philadelphia newspaper without the proper wardrobe! When Nora stumbles across the body of the old family friend who gave Nora the job in the middle of a swank party, what's a girl to do? Why, find the right outfit to wear while solving his murder, of course!
That's the story line in How to Murder a Millionaire (#311) by Nancy Martin, a new series of cozy mysteries. It seems that Rory Pendergast had a number of secrets himself, including some priceless art that might have gotten him killed. Did the handsome scion of a Philadelphia crime family who has just opened a muscle car lot on what was formerly Blackbird property have anything to do with it? And if he gives Nora one more of those smoldering looks will she care either way?
You'll just have to read it yourself to find out, preferably on a comfortable shady hammock with something icy cold to drink close at hand...
