Saturday Night Cleaver (A Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #4) (24 page)

“Jethro Tull.” He smiled. “Didn’t know you were a fan.”

“I’m not, but I’m a tiger when I want love.”

He pulled a card from his suit jacket pocket and slipped it across the table. “Well, see, I have this invitation...”

The red kissing lips called my name. I picked up the familiar looking card and turned it over. That night’s date and the time 9:30 p were scribbled on the back.

“It depends.” I fanned myself with the Saturday Night Fever invite. “Will there be dancing tonight...or will there be ‘dancing’?”

He leaned in and grinned. The light from the candle on the table reflected in those dark, dreamy eyes. “How about a little of both?”

Now there was an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Take the Monkeys and Run
(A Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #1)

Film lover Barbara Marr is a typical suburban mom living the typical suburban life in her sleepy little town of Rustic Woods, Virginia. Typical, that is until she sets out to find the missing link between a bizarre monkey sighting in her yard and the bone chilling middle-of-the-night fright fest at the strangely vacant house next door. When Barb talks her two friends into some seemingly innocent Charlie’s Angels-like sleuthing, they stumble upon way more than they bargained for and uncover a piece of neighborhood history that certain people would kill to keep on the cutting room floor.

Silenced by the Yams

What’s more chaotic than a house with a canary, two hungry cats, and a yappy poodle with elimination issues? Answer: Barbara Marr on a murder investigation. That’s right, when Barb attends her first movie review screening, film director Kurt Baugh dies within twenty minutes of meeting her. If that isn’t bad enough, her friend, ex-Mafioso, Frankie Romano, is arrested for the murder. In usual Barbara Marr fashion, a whole load of trouble ensues when she seeks to vindicate Frankie of the crime. This third book in the popular Barbara Marr Murder Mystery Series brings Barb out of the suburbs and into the slimy, urban world of bright lights, nightly news, and drive-by shootings.
