Life Without Parole
Life Without Parole, the sixth Angela Richman mystery, is out now.
Thank you for your help and support this year. I’m excited to tell you about Life Without Parole, my new Angela Richman, Death Investigator mystery. It’s quite a tale.
Chouteau Forest, Mo., the home of the one-percent, is targeted by the Ghost Burglars, who’ve terrorized the town with 12 burglaries in two weeks. So far, they’ve only taken money, but then the burglars turn into killers. Tom Lockridge is brutally murdered in his marble mansion. Angela Richman, death investigator for Chouteau County, is called to the scene to work with Detective Jace Budewitz. The detective becomes obsessed with proving that Cynthia Lockridge, the victim’s wife, killed her husband.
After all, Cynthia is young, beautiful, and extravagant, and she’s strayed with an ambitious lawyer. And what about Tom’s long-suffering daughter? His loose-lipped housekeeper? His devoted office manager? Angela discovers their secrets and lies. Now she has to find out whose secrets triggered Tom Lockridge’s murder.
