Produktbeschreibung
Just because a man cheats on his wife and makes Danny DeVito look tall, dark and handsome, is that any reason to kill him? The reluctant and quirky PI, Lee Alvarez, doesn't think so. The 34-year old, half Latina, half WASP and one-hundred percent detective has her work cut out for her when the man is murdered on her watch. Of all the nerve. Murder is a Family Business is the first in a series of humorous mysteries revolving around Lee Alvarez, a combination of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone and Janet Evanovitch' Stephanie Plum, and the rest of Alvarez Family. Completing the family is Lee's "Never-Had-A-Bad-Hair-Day" aristocratic mother, Lila; computer genius brother, Richard; beloved uncle "Tio;" and her energetic orange and white kitten, Tugger. When this group is not solving murders, they run Discretionary Inquiries, a successful Silicon Valley agency that normally deals with the theft of computer software. Seemingly light and frothy on the surface, the novel explores familial love: the good, the bad and the annoying.
Autorenporträt
Multi-award winning author Heather Haven writes humorous and noir mysteries, short stories, and plays. San Francisco Book Review calls her modern-day Silicon Valley based Alvarez Family Mysteries "strong work in the genre of the mystery/thriller." Dan Poyntner's Global Ebook Awards says The Persephone Cole Vintage Mystery Series set in Manhattan circa 1942 is "the perfect mystery." As daughter of real-life Ringling Brothers Circus folk, her proudest achievement was winning the 2014 Silver IPPY for Best Mystery/thriller for Death of a Clown. Heather brings the daily existence of the Big Top to life embellished, of course, by her own murderous imagination.
