A Sensitive Kind of Murder

Book excerpt: Kate Jasper, Marin County, California’s own organically grown amateur sleuth, returns in this twelfth mystery in the series. Kate Jasper has sworn off groups, tired of her role as the Typhoid Mary of Murder. In A Sensitive Kind of Murder, it is her sweetheart, and now husband, who attends the Heartlink Men’s Group. Kate is on her way to meet him afterward when a familiar car roars down the street, hits Steve Summers (journalist and fellow Heartlink member), flings him into the air, and then backs up to run over him again. The familiar car is her own sweetie’s muscular Jaguar. Kate is sure her own gentle and gentlemanly husband was not driving the car at the fatal moment. But who was? Kate must break the Heartlink Men’s circle of silence and go where no woman has gone before. Her husband’s life may depend on Kate’s estrogen‐fueled intuition.
