Murphy Murphy and the Case of the Serious Crisis by Keith Hirshland
This is a terrific mystery in and of itself, but it is even better if you love wordplay. There is an underlying theme here that adds a lot of humor and laughter to the story: redundancy.

Chad Bishop, the Police Chief, and his nemesis, Ashley Logan, the owner and investigative reporter of the local newspaper find themselves working together to solve the child abduction of four-year-old Mandy Norton. Both are very strong, intelligent characters that find a way to … Continue reading Not Dead by Anita Dickason
