Recovering from last year's Las Vegas trip-from-hell, Long Beach literary agent Charlie Greene is looking forward to spending this year's vacation at home. No manuscript reading, no needy clients, no killer commute for a whole week - just some good, old-fashioned rest and relaxation. But before Charlie's peaceful vacation even starts, her daughter's rambunctious cat, Tuxedo, causes her to stumble across the body of neighbor Jeremy Fielder, murdered in the front seat of his truck. And investigating officers are quick to remind Charlie that this isn't her first dead body. Now their quiet Southern California suburban community is becoming more hectic than rush hour on the L.A. freeway as Charlie and her zany neighbors face-off against nosy police officers, insatiable reporters, and a killer determined to drive them away. Another fabulous addition to Millhiser's acclaimed series, Killer Commute is a comical ride through a mystery sure to be a smash with both long-time fans and those just making Charlie Greene's acquaintance.

Killer Commute (Charlie Greene Mysteries)

Literary agent and amateur sleuth Charlie Greene accompanies her mother to her great-great-aunt's funeral under great duress--after all, Charlie herself is adopted, and this part of her extended family has never made her feel that welcome. Plus, it's in Myrtle, Iowa, about as far from Charlie's life as a high-powered California literary agent as one can get. But she agrees to go. How bad could it be? In one of Marlys Millhiser's quirky, offbeat mysteries, that is the world's biggest rhetorical question. Because someone may be offing the elderly in this midwestern town's only nursing home, and it falls to Charlie, the suspicious outsider, to put all the pieces together. Dealing with a passel of wacky relatives she's never met and a vicious killer as well won't be the easiest task she's ever been handed, but Charlie's good humor and recently acquired investigative experience should be more than enough to finish the job. That is, if she can escape the prying eyes that seem to peer at her from every corner of the tiny town. Millhiser outdoes herself yet again in The Rampant Reaper, an effort sure to leave both loyal fans and new readers clamoring for the next installment of this unconventional and engaging series.

The Rampant Reaper (Wwl Mystery, 478)

As a literary agent, Charlie Greene is used to making a killing - it's her business. But when she pulls into the foggy town of Moot Point, she finds herself party to a killing of a different kind, one with a corpse and with herself as a suspect. This visit to the laid-back coastal town was supposed to be the chance to secure a deal for her stubborn client, Jack Monroe, whose book of New Age theories has attracted wide speculation among the literary set. But on her first night, Charlie is accused of murdering an elderly woman whose bicycle is mysteriously found beneath the wheels of Charlie's car. Suddenly Charlie has a new project: proving herself innocent of murder. As if the steely-eyed looks from the town's residents weren't enough, Charlie is trying to parent her teenage daughter long-distance; looking for answers to the dreams that continue to haunt her; and fending off - or maybe not - the amorous advances of the local sheriff. All this might not be so bad, but then there's her client, who insists on practicing his otherworldly theories - and claims he's taking Charlie along for the ride.
