Description
Murder gets personal when human remains are found in the beach cottage that realtors Regan McHenry and her husband, Tom Kiley, buy. The murder victim has been hidden away for sixteen years, and although the authorities quickly discover his identity, the trail to his killer is cold after so many years.
Regan has sworn off playing amateur detective, but when it becomes clear the police have to focus on more pressing crimes, she has to break her promise. As her friend police ombudsman Dave Everett says, “Your house, Regan, your murder.”
Welcome back to Santa Cruz, the community whose unofficial motto is “Keep Santa Cruz Weird,” for the twists and turns of the third book in the Regan McHenry Mystery Series.
About the Author
After earning a BA in behavioral science from San Jose State University, Nancy Lynn Jarvis worked in the advertising department of the San Jose Mercury News. A move to Santa Cruz meant a new job as a librarian and later a stint as the business manager of Shakespeare/Santa Cruz. She was a Santa Cruz, California, Realtor® for more than twenty years before retiring.
Nancy’s work history reflects her philosophy: people should try something radically different every few years. Writing is her newest adventure.
Praise for Buying Murder: Regan McHenry Real Estate Mystery…
"...the story flows really well and the ending felt right...extremely satisfying. --Morgan Rankin, editor Battle Mountain News
Buying Murder is one of those books you want to read from beginning to the end with no interruptions. It stands alone from the previous two novels, but I suggest you pick up the other two because that is what a good mystery series author is all about--quality! Ms. Jarvis delivers.--Yolanda Renee, Blog Talk Radio
Nancy's views and perceptions (are) spot on with reality. The story was very entertaining with a hint of eerie realism to it. While several times I would have bet my book money that I knew the outcome, within pages I would realize I was wrong. After doing this three times, I gave up on trying to speculate and just enjoyed the read. This is an easy reading, solid murder mystery that keeps you turning the pages and asking the ever famous question "who dunnit?". --Kristina at Goodreads
Enough plot details and side characters were revealed with each chapter to keep the pages turning and even to make me revise my theory more than once … the surrounding characters are appropriately colorful and nicely fleshed out, even when they could be merely two-dimensional and still serve the plot.—S. Holt at LibraryThing
