Kalliope Brooks, a bartender at a local bar in Owhiro, Florida, had a hard time coming to grips with the events of that fateful spring Saturday night. She had finished her night shift, only to find a dead body in her car. The police had identified the deceased as Alexandria Clemons who was the daughter of a tycoon. Things only got messier when the lead detective listed Kallie’s close friend Mike as the prime suspect in the murder case. This made no sense to Kallie, especially because there were a handful of other suspects, among them Alexandria’s fiancé and her landlord. With the help of her friend Tess and a crime blogger, Kallie was determined to discover everything behind the murder of Alexandria. Get yourself Tanya Westlake’s Bloody Mary, Bloody Murder to learn more.

Lovers of mystery murder novels will find Tanya Westlake’s Bloody Mary, Bloody Murder a compelling read. With an intriguing plot, Westlake creates an enthralling tale of gold-diggers, stalkers, snitches, sleuths, bloggers, news reporters, deceit, and money. While unfolding the storyline, Westlake adds mystery. Just when I thought I had solved a puzzle, the story would pick up the pace and head in a different direction. Westlake develops the protagonists wonderfully, highlighting their attributes and emotions. Kallie and Tess’s light-hearted banter, their clumsy ideas, and the unfazed neighbors with a crush on Kallie’s dad all made for hilarious scenes. There is suspense, drama, thrills, and humor in this book.
