Murder Most Blonde (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781467512633)

MURDER MOST BLONDE By M. J. HATCH Murder Most Blonde is a police procedural murder mystery in which the reader is introduced to the continuing character, Detective Jake Swanson. Born to a local socialite and raised in Newport Beach, California, Jake Swanson knows how to use his good looks, and laid-back attitude as his unique way of interacting with people from all walks of life. In between surfing the waves and surfing the local bars, the forty-two-year-old detective is faced with solving the murder of two blondes happening in less than twenty-four hour in his well-heeled coastal city. Other than the color of their hair, the victims apparently have nothing in common--one is a returning socialite trailing scandal everywhere she goes, and the other is a child-like teenager just looking for a party. Unfortunately for Jake Swanson he had contact with both victims just prior to their deaths. Worse yet, he is friendly with one of the suspects, and is a tenant of the other. With suspicion of complicity flowing heavily in his direction, he is forced to partner with the newly-minted detective, Melissa Sanchez, a former drug enforcement officer, who disdains him and the decadent lifestyle he embraces. Derision and sparks fly between Jake and his new partner as he comes to terms with his age, her youth, and that the unsolved murders that point heavily in the direction of two of Jake's known associates, endangering his luxurious life-style.
