 Recently I saw an ad for a theater production. It was a Murder Mystery Dinner. It sounded like a fun evening. You would go and participate in a mystery. One of the people involved at the dinner gets murdered and you have to figure out which of the others in attendance killed them. I think I could figure it out. I'm pretty intuitive like that... and I've read all of Mark Love's Jamie Richmond Series!! CHASING FAVORS is the latest in the Jamie Richmond Series. In this book, Jamie is asked to do a favor by an old boyfriend. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Old boyfriend? That's never good. Anyway, Jamie does the favor and gets into trouble once more. And by trouble...she's determined to stop the bad guys. All this from a woman who is dating a cop and has had her share of dangerous mysteries. I simply love the character of Jamie. She's feisty and knows her worth. She fights for what she wants and those she loves. Malone is her guy. She's not interested in her former flame but her digging around with this favor could lead to her losing her life. This time she's taking on the Russian mob! CHASING FAVORS is now available in ebook and print. Grab a copy today and figure out the mystery for yourself!! Blurb: Doing a favor for an old friend. What could possibly go wrong?? It was supposed to be one simple favor. Randy was the nice, charming guy who drew Jamie into a steamy romance, two years ago, during her vacation. Now he’s in town, nudging her curiosity with the request for some help. What could possibly go wrong? Jamie’s skills as an investigative reporter made for a smooth transition to writing mysteries. And Randy’s request seemed harmless enough. Doing a favor for a friend is really no big deal. But things are rarely as they appear when Jamie starts digging. When she uncovers the answers for Randy, she’s faced with another request for a favor. Who knew she could be so popular? Now Jamie’s spending her time, chasing after favors. While researching Randy’s situation, Jamie stumbles upon something that doesn’t seem quite right. Most people would just ignore it. Or chalk it up to a coincidence. But Jamie’s never been a believer in those. Sensing there is something more going on in the background, Jamie becomes determined to figure it out. And if she’s right, she intends on stopping the bad guys in their tracks. CHASING FAVORS features the beautiful redhead whose nose for trouble has her stumbling into police business. Mark Love’s series is perfect for fans of the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs or Diane Capri’s Michael Flint series, where solving a mystery and danger abound. Even though you can read Chasing Favors as a standalone, why would you? Especially when following Jamie through her romance and adventures will entertain you through the night. EXCERPT: The European voice that responded surprised me. “I am seeking Miss Jamie Richmond. A mutual friend suggested we meet.” Unlocking the door, I pulled it part way open. “What’s your name?” His eyes flicked back and forth mischievously. “Yakov.” “Yakov what?” “Perhaps I am like Madonna and only use one name.” The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Our friend sent me a picture of you as well, Miss Richmond. You were wearing something more formal. An evening gown, in a shade of green, perhaps. However, it is quite easy to recognize your lovely features and your red tresses.” “C’mon in.” I swung the door open wide. Yakov took two steps into the studio and froze in mid-stride. His eyes were locked on the display of sculptures. “Would it be permissible to examine these? With my eyes only, of course.” “Go for it.” “Our mutual friend failed to inform me that I would be in the presence of such a priceless display of art. Your father was incredibly talented.” “I think so too.” There were so many questions bouncing through my head. Maybe it would be best to start with an easy one. “Isn’t Yakov a Russian name?” He nodded. “Yes, it is.” “Oh.” “What, you have never heard of a Black Russian?” “Well… I just…always pictured people from Russia in a certain way and…” I stopped talking, realizing he was laughing at me. Yakov held up a hand. “In Russian, Yakov means ‘supplanter.’ Are you familiar with this word, Miss Richmond?” “Call me Jamie. Seems to me it means someone who takes from another, or something like that.” “That is close enough. I must admit that the meaning fits well with my former occupation. Which is how I first was brought to the attention of our mutual friend.” Now Available: |
