HANKY PANKY: A Brandy Wyne Mystery
By Anne Avery
“We can’t believe it! There was a murder and you weren’t involved?”
Brandy’s friends start her morning with coffee and a lot of good-natured ribbing over Chica Perdida Key’s most recent murder, which really doesn’t involve her. Until, that is, a local art gallery owner gets her involved, regardless!
Turns out, police think the dead man was the abusive ex-husband of an artist whose work Brandy loves. No way she’ll refuse her help to a woman who, like Brandy herself, has survived an unhappy marriage and is trying to rebuild her life. Especially after they learn the ex isn’t the dead man, after all—he’s the suspected murderer!
As the bodies multiply, Brandy gets dragged deeper into a confusing tangle of right-wing militias, dodgy business connections, and a possibly stolen inheritance. From the looks of things, it’s only going to get worse—fast!
