April September, 36, bookish yet fetching, amateur crime writer has no bites from any publisher. Stuck in a temporary bank job -- now metastasizing into a career. It's enough to make a girl hug her Jack Daniels.
April encounters (not pleasantly) Preston Tremlock, 38, a Police Academy reject, whose obsession with crime solving knows no bounds -- but unfortunately keeps him from holding a steady job. He's been a pastry baker, a sewer worker, a Kelly Girl -- Oh, did we mention he has a 148 IQ? Can these luckless outliers come up to a once-in-a-lifetime challenge that presents itself? And stay alive? A Few Murders is very much a character-driven, twisty, suspense-building whodunit --- but also a how the f***k did they DO that -- impossible crime caper. It has the panache of Alfred Hitchcock and the skewed humor of Elmore Leonard. Oh yes, and you won't get the ending. Guaranteed.
