Bad Blood

By Geraldine Evans

Book Overview

For Readers who like their mysteries with a little humour.

.

A robbery gone wrong, Detective Joe Rafferty thought, when the latest murder victim, wealthy widow, Clara Mortimer, was found battered to death in her home. Then Rafferty learned she wasn't a widow at all-and her estranged husband was living in the same block under a false name.
*
But that's not the only suspicious aspect of the case: Clara Mortimer's family add another complication, not eased either by their several deceptions or by the difficulties in Rafferty's personal life, which, as always, seems to be guided by a malign fate and take his eye off the investigatory ball. But could he help it if his automatic reaction when his live-in girlfriend Abra said she might be pregnant wasn't exactly New Man?
*
Their investigation brings Rafferty and Llewellyn face to face with just how down and dirty families can be--and not just the families of murder victims.

Bad Blood

Attention mystery fans! DI Joseph Rafferty is back with a new mystery. The murder of an old woman in a building that is supposed to be safe brings out all kinds of motives, but is one of them strong enough for murder? Rafferty's new case is filled with strange complications and even stranger characters who try to confound him with lies. At the same time, his lover tells him he might be a father. Then she disappears. Rafferty must thrust aside his complicated emotions and guilts and concentrate on the job, something not easily done with his female relatives prying into his private life. A combination of intriguing subplots that merge into a fun read by talented Geraldine Evans who has created a cast of characters, some not so nice, but you'll enjoy meeting them as they try to keep Rafferty from learning their secrets and possible motives for murder. Recommended as a real whodunnit you'll be glad you read. Enjoy. I did.
