About this ebook

One recluse millionaire. One murder… so far.

Life between cases is downright boring for blind PI Steve Smiley. When an insurance investigator looking for a missing millionaire is convinced the man is alive, Smiley doesn’t hesitate to join the hunt.

With no murder weapon and no body, Smiley suspects the man faked his own death. But the trail of multiple passports turns cold… until a body is found in a burned-out Texas truck. Dental records confirm it’s the missing man. A bullet in his back confirms he was murdered. But why would someone want to kill a video game developer?

Then the killer takes a shot at the man’s widow. With both her life and Steve’s reputation on the line, can he stop the killer before he strikes again? Or will this be the one game Steve loses?

Smiley and McBlythe mysteries never contain any graphic violence, sex or foul language. Just great whodunits to get the ‘little grey cells’ working!

The Smiley and McBlythe Mystery Series: The Name Game Murder, #5 - Interesting and entertaining story lines with good characters and clean dialog. I enjoy the relationships between Steve and Heather and how they mesh without an silly drama. A hilarious goof: Fayette County does not lose power with our electric supplier BEC, as proven by the last two years of ice storms. Source: My Kindle library. 5* Exercise Is Murder, prequel - An interesting and immersing introduction to Steve Smiley and Heather McBlythe and their beginnings. Recommend reading this first. 4* Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells, 1 - Interesting and immersing easy read with a steady pace, good story lines, good characters and good values made this a hard to put down read. Recommend reading the prequel, Exercise is Murder first. 5* Pistols And Poinsettias, #2 - A fun, clean, entertaining read with missing people, a murder and felony theft mixed with a variety of characters and well written story lines.
