Murder By Acquaintance — Suzanna Carr

Richard Hayes has been murdered! Who would stab a man in his chest...wait a few minutes then slice his jugular wide open? Blood flowing EVERYWHERE! Everyone in the GLI Insurance office had motive! No one had air tight alibis...everyone hated him! But..."WHO DUN IT?" is the question everyone is asking. Everybody suspects the others. Long time friendships are tested as no one dares turn their back on their so called best friends. Suddenly five more bodies turn up in Mary Jane's back yard, are they connected? Mary Jane was the town's most unlikely person; baking pies and cakes for over forty years, and loving everyone! But why did Jeffery and Jason have a body in their trunk? And Jeffery, a widower with two small daughters to raise! Jason the Pastor of a small holiness Church, a member of the Gideons, an upstanding member of the community with a wife who everyone loved! Then there was Cindy, second on the scene. She surely hated him, she had worked hard to build up a clientele only to have him jerk half of them away from her! And poor Nicole! Sexiest woman in the office, but she was being blackmailed into sexual favors by Richard! Did she finally take all she could? Kevin, first one on the scene...or did he create the scene? The question on McDougal's mind! He was the one with the bloody butcher knife in his hand leaning over the body of Richard Hayes when Captain McDougal arrived at the scene and refused to talk. He certainly had reason to kill their supervisor, who had come in and taken over! Hating him because of his personal family preference! And Ms. Janice looked awful suspicious that morning! What had she been hiding? Did she know more than she was telling?? Why did Peter suddenly jump up and take a vacation out of the country? The motives and opportunity were all there. The problem was to unwind and uncover all the secrets and lies to figure out...WHO DUN IT?
