Murderous Greed

Rating:
Summary: Recommended
Review: Investigative reporter Lindsey Dyson and her new husband just moved in together in their new apartment. Unfortunately, they can't seem to get much time together for romance with busy jobs, boxes to unpack, and Eric's boss who wants to them to double date with his numerous girlfriends. They do, however, enjoy meeting the neighbors in the apartment next to theirs.

Grant and Miranda seem to have much in common with the Dysons and they look forward to becoming friends. When the two couples agree to meet at the Dyson apartment for Chinese takeout, plans fall through with only the loud fighting and crashing against the adjoining wall to serve as a cancellation. Later Grant stops by to apologize and indicates the fight was over money.

The Dyson's are shocked the next day when police announce that Grant has been murdered and his wife is their prime suspect. Lindesy's editor assigns her to the case, to help search for the killer. Within days, a coworker links the case to another murder case; this time the victim is a wealthy man.

Author Calley Moore creates an interesting murder mystery in MURDEROUS GREED. The brevity of the novel, however, disallows much character development, especially among the secondary characters. The unpredictable plot will give readers a number of suspects. Investigative reporter Lindsey Dyson is a powerful and interesting crime solver, and this reviewer looks forward to more books that include her. Recommended.
