Murder at the Luther

di Kathleen Kaska (Autore)

Maureen Carroll, 2024

With her fingerprints on the murder weapon and a police chief with his own agenda, Sydney ushers in the New Year behind bars. Soon there is another body, more damning fingerprints, and a crazy Cajun who's been paid to feed Sydney to the alligators. Things get worse when cousin Ruth comes to town with a problem even Sydney can't solve. The largest book group in the country, The Pulpwood Queens and Timber Guys Book Club, chose Murder at the Luther, as a bonus book. "Sydney Lockhart and her cousin Ruth are back in another high-action, hilarious mystery named after a hotel. Once again, Sydney gets herself into a mess that seems to deepen with every attempt to extricate herself. She's arrested, kidnapped twice, and shot at. And I'm leaving out the exciting parts! ... Kathleen Kaska surprises us not only with the murderer but with the motivation." —Author Dan Andriacco "Confident, free-spirited redhead Sydney Jean Lockhart has shunned the entrapments of marriage and domesticity in order to maintain her independence and pursue her career as a reporter. Attending the Luther Hotel's "Neptune Rising" themed ball on New Year's Eve, she finds herself in the midst of party revelers, champagne, and dancing when a murder occurs, and Sydney is discovered standing over the victim with his blood on her hands. Pursued by Police Chief Lynol Fogmore, a cigar-chewing bulldog of a man hungry for a fast arrest and conviction, Sydney finds herself his number-one suspect. In a race against time to prove her innocence, she sets out to solve the case and unmask the real murderer. Kathleen Kaska's book is a neatly written, fast-paced, and entertaining thriller. Her central character, Sydney Lockhart, is a feisty, strong, and believable heroine embroiled in a charmingly nostalgic murder mystery reminiscent of the classic Agatha Christie-style whodunits that would also successfully transfer to stage and screen. —Author John Walker, Reviewer for Suspense Magazine
