Double the fun! Twin sisters Kerry and Terry McAfee are PIs in Los Angeles. You can’t miss them with their bright red hair and hot-pink Harley. They are a hoot!
Their rich aunt Reba finds a decapitated body in her new Malibu beach house. Detective John Boatright, the hunky detective Kerry is interested in, arrives to investigate. Then in walks their cousin Robert with a blonde-haired head in a mesh bag. He has no idea where he’s been. Soon both Robert and Reba are confessing to the murder and end up in jail.
Terry and Kerry know they have to find the murderer to clear their cousin and aunt. In the process, they end up involved with Malibu movie producers, actors, cultists, and visitors from outer space. Can they sort through all the possible suspects and find the killer without putting themselves in danger and before Robert and Reba are convicted?
This series is fabulous. I just discovered it and can’t wait to read the next book, The Vampire Of Venice Beach. There’s also the first in the series, The Butcher Of Beverly Hills. I hope these girls will be around a long time. The writer has such great wit. I ended up laughing out loud many times from their antics. Kerry and Terry are quite different and that’s what makes this work so well.
I highly recommend this book and series.
