Book #2 of the Award-winning Dead Detective Mystery Series:
DEAD FOR THE MONEY
Follow Seamus, aided by an irksome trainee, as he investigates a suspicious death on the shores of Lake Michigan. Deceased Mr. Dunbar wants to clear his grandson’s name, but secrets in the house may be too much for Seamus to unravel.
I really looked forward to this book, as I enjoyed the first in the series. The investigations are never simple for Seamus. This time he has a "detective in training" along with him who keeps things interesting. From the charming lakeside city of Frankfort, MI, to the Straits of Mackinac, I couldn’t put this one down. From the troubled teen, Brodie, to the victim, "Gramps", the characters are fun and unique. A little romance, lots of twists and turns, and an exciting climax make for another winner for Peg Herring. What’s next??? I can’t wait.
