Murder in Trade

by Holly Newman

Overview

Although her marriage to George Waddley had been passionless, the widow Cecilia Haukstrom Waddley vows to unmask the man responsible for her husband's murder. Suspecting the culprit travels in society circles, she feigns near constant illness so that she can eavesdrop and pry at parties.

But nothing is as it seems...

Sir James Branstoke sees through Cecilia's supposed fragility. Intrigued by her odd behavior, he believes she has secrets-secrets that could lead to her demise. So, the hunter follows the huntress through society. Neither Sir James nor Cecilia imagine that her quest will lead them to an international crime ring and its elusive ringleader, or that Cecilia's insistence on discovering the truth marks her as their next victim.

Can Cecilia and Sir James misdirect the master and save them all?

About the Author

Holly Newman is a pseudonym for Holly Thompson. She lives in Florida seven miles from the Gulf Coast with Ken and their six cats. Holly decided to be a writer when she was in the fifth grade and filled notebooks with stories-until a mean-spirited high school teacher told her she had no talent for writing. Crushed, for several years she stopped writing, but the writing bug didn't go away. Her first book won first place in the University of Texas at Dallas fiction writing competition and was first runner-up for the Rita award from Romance Writers of America.
