A GRAND MURDER by Stacy Verdick Case

AGrandMurderCoverA coffee-loving protagonist and an intriguing murder mystery makes for a charming read in author Stacy Verdick Case’s latest release,  A GRAND MURDER.

Homicide Detective Catherine O’Brien and her partner, Louise Montgomery, have a touchy case on their hands. A prominent local businessman has been murdered on the front porch of his posh Grand Avenue Hill home in St. Paul, MN. The detectives have been given 2 days to find the killer and their boss, the chief of police, is on the long list of suspects.

There’s not much evidence in the case. Some how a missing cell phone, a stolen book and the victim’s own unique letter opener plays a part in the death.

Case has created an unlikely pair of detectives in O’Brien and Montgomery. They are complete opposites, but work great as a team. The bantering between the 2 adds bits of humor to this fast-pace murder mystery.

The story flows smoothly and with the long list of suspects, the reader is keep guessing until the end. The tension mounts as the detectives close in on the killer.

  4. This one sounds a real challenger for the dectective in that the clues are sparse. I love mysteries like this and have never read anything by this author.
