Palm Desert Killing: A Val & Kit Mystery

by Patricia Obermeier Neuman, Rosalind Burgess

Overview

When one of them receives a mysterious letter, BFFs Val and Kit begin to unravel a sordid story that spans a continent and reaches back decades. It also takes them to Palm Desert, California, a paradise of palm trees, mountains, blue skies . . . and now murder. The men in their lives-Val's favorite detective, Dennis Culotta; her boss, Tom Haskins; and Kit's husband, Larry-play their (un)usual parts in this adventure that introduces a fresh batch of suspicious characters, including Kit's New York-attorney sister, Nora, and their mother. Val faces an additional challenge when her daughter, Emily, reveals her own startling news. Val and Kit bring to this story their (a)typical humor, banter, and unorthodox detective skills. Like all the books in The Val & Kit Mystery Series, this fifth one can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel.

About the Author

Now a proud and patriotic US citizen and Texan, Rosalind Burgess grew up in London and currently calls Houston home. She has also lived in Germany, Iowa, and Minnesota. Roz retired from the airline industry to devote all her working hours to writing (although it seems more like fun than work).

Patricia Obermeier Neuman spent her childhood and early adulthood moving around the Midwest (Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana), as a trailing child and then as a trailing spouse (inspiring her first book, Moving: The What, When, Where & How of It). A former reporter and editor, Patty lives with her husband in Door County, Wisconsin. They have three children and twelve grandchildren.

Roz and Patty-along with characters Val and Kit-have another mystery on the way, and with their collective passion for friendship, humor, and love (not to mention mysteries!), they are unlikely to stop any time soon.
