On this anything but typical Monday morning Jenna Scali, who works part-time for a shrink, opens an email that depicts the brutal death of a young girl. On that same day the police uncover a dead coed two blocks from Jenna’s house. The e-murderer’s description creepily echos the death described in the newspapers.
When Jenna receives other emails, she takes what she knows to the police and thus begins her journey in the path of the e-murderer. Her curious nature impels her from e-messages to dead coeds to a ring of prostitutes. With the help of her quirky friends, Jenna learns that she’s more than a conduit for the killer. She’s his target. New secrets unfold, and finally her love life takes a tumble when the true killer emerges.
THE E-MURDERER is a race to find a psychotic killer before he kills again.
This new mystery series with a young female sleuth promises to keep you glued to your seat until the last page.

A
knock roused me from my thoughts.
“It’s
open.”
“Just
wanted to make sure you were decent. All the rooms are supposed to stay open,”
Quentin said. “Didn’t you read the innkeeper’s notes about how to enjoy the
Moonshine Inn?” He marched into my cramped quarters and plopped across the bed,
bouncing to test the mattress for firmness.
“Not
yet.”
“Apparently
you can bolt the doors, but people don’t. The atmosphere at the
Moonshine
Inn,”—he mimed quotation marks with his fingers—”is ‘relaxed and cordial.’ That
means open doors.”
“I
didn’t find our Mrs. Wilkins relaxed and cordial.”
He
laughed.
“I’ve
nothing to steal, anyway. Is your room like this one?”
“I’ve
got hooks on the wall instead of a real cupboard, but otherwise, it’s about the
same. By the way, the dog’s name is Benji, and he’s not to be fed, according to
our innkeeper.”
“I
knew she was a tyrant.”
“Want
to go down and greet the guests?” Not
particularly, I refrained from saying.
The
confrontation with Marcy was inevitable. Now was as good a time as any.
