This awesome amateur sleuth couple is the deal of the day

St. Louis couple Gil and Claire Hunt have found happiness with one another after both suffered from failed marriages. Gil enjoys being the owner of a neighborhood bookstore while Claire loves hosting a local shopping show. Their blissful existence is interrupted by a serial killer. The culprit murders women, leaving behind victims watching Claire's TV show. The police make no progress and begin to wonder if Claire or her spouse could be the murderer. Instead of waiting around for the law enforcement officials to either arrest or exonerate them, the Hunts go on the hunt for a killer, not realizing that they may have inadvertently placed Claire in the path of the murderer. MURDER IS THE DEAL OF THE DAY is a top rate new entry for an exciting amateur sleuthing couple. The mystery is well designed and insight into the TV business adds just the right amount of background color. St. Louis comes alive, becoming more than a non-McDonald's arch and the Cardinals. This hopefully is the first collaboration in a series of mysteries by the newly formed team of Robert Randisi and Christine Matthews.Harriet Klausner
