The Bogey Man
Marja McGraw
Imagine you're a young female private investigator, it's early in the morning and you're watching the motel room of an errant husband. The angry wife shows up and blows your cover, and the husband comes after you. Now imagine that Humphrey Bogart comes to your rescue. Sandi Webster's latest case begins with this scenario, and she continues to have "Bogey" sightings. No one will believe her until a woman is murdered at a costume party and the Bogey Man comes strolling out of the restroom, walking the walk and talking the talk.From the AuthorThe Bogey Man is #4 in the Sandi Webster Mysteries. Chris Cross is introduced as a Humphrey Bogart look-alike who wants nothing more that to become a private investigator. Sandi Webster takes on the job of proving to Chris that he's not quite cut out for the job, but life has a funny way of taking us down paths we never expected to set foot on. In this story Sandi attends a costume party with death stepping in as one of the guests. Her friend, Felicity Dubois, has connections in the modeling and acting industries, so the guest list consists of some famous names. Chris insinuates himself into the mix and Sandi includes him in some of the investigation. In the meantime, Sandi's partner and love interest, Pete, goes through a bit of jealousy, along with their employee, Stanley Hawks. Stanley and Felicity are a duo. This story was fun to write partly because I was able to include so many twists and turns. The characters, including everyone from the Bogey Man to the Lawsuit Queen, even made me smile, and I'm the one who created them. Oh, and I can't forget, Sandi's menopausal mother is right in the thick of the action. This is one wild ride you won't want to miss. About the Author
