Kelly Marshall

Detectives Strom and Winston are back and in fine form. Having worked out their issues over Jasmine (the sexy murder victim in The Radio Murders), they are now faced with the most haunting type of death – the murder of a beautiful child. As they dig deeper into the lives of the Emily’s family and those nearest her. Child molestation and abuse are treated with emotional intensity and you can almost feel Nick’s sense of horror that anyone could be so cruel to one so small. No Kelly Marshall story would be complete without a few romps in the bedroom (and elsewhere), and this one is no different. Appropriate to the overall story, these sexy escapades are believable and in good taste. Your heart breaks as the history of Emily’s short life unravels and you laugh out loud at Nick’s cowboy stunt to catch a suspect. The book wraps up with an ending fitting the tale. Will our two very different yet lovable detectives return? We can only hope.

When I spoke with Ms. Marshall for TheAuthorsShow.com, we talked about The Radio Murders and I learned that hosting radio shows was in her DNA. That experience shows throughout her story. Murder, however, is the theme of this book and Homicide Detectives Nick Winston and Pat Strom are a team. As opposite as two people can be, these two have a very comfortable working relationship until Jasmine (our radio show host) arouses the interest of both. Jasmine plays on both sides and Nick, the randy detective thinks he’s in love. Admitted lesbian, Pat, is also turned on by Jasmine and solving not only Jasmine’s murder but others associated with her becomes a challenge. These two characters are well-defined, the story is detailed, suspenseful, and (at times) hilarious. I can only hope that Ms. Marshall brings back Pat and Nick for more tales of murder and mayhem.
