Sleuth Slayer
by Jeffrey B Burton and Bruce W Burton
P. Jax Thornton III, third-rate author of the Corpse mystery series and heir to a family fortune, spins a theory to
his friend, Guy Davitt, also a third tier mystery writer. According to Jax, American mystery writers are being
brutally murdered. Guy initially scoffs at this theory, but he begins to have second thoughts when Jax’s car plunges
off the road into a ravine and he is killed.
In collaboration with Frances Whiting, award winning author of the Sally Kerentine yachting mysteries and nearly a
victim herself, Guy discovers the truth of Jax's theory. Each writer's death is taken from the pages of one of his
or her own mystery novels. The pair must delve into the deaths to find the murderer before he zeroes in on them.
Sleuth Slayer is an entertaining, fun read. The plot is well developed with memorable characters. There
are many twists in this fast-paced story, with the outcome coming as a complete surprise.
Recommended for a quick read for a afternoon or evening enjoyment. |
