Kim and Rory’s First Case!
Meet Kimberley West, gemologist, dog trainer and reluctant amateur sleuth
When an acquaintance lassoes her into joining a large wedding party, Kim figures the worst that could happen is having to buy an ugly dress. How could she have predicted that, at the very first gathering, one of the guests would steal the future bride’s antique diamond ring?
Now the bride-to-be wants Kim to identify the culprit before the groom discovers his family heirloom is missing.
With only two days to find the culprit, Kim must juggle the investigation with her busy schedule as a psychology professor and her bridesmaid duties – all while keeping up with a precocious standard poodle puppy.
And, oh, yeah, she also needs to survive a bizarre first date: helping an ornithologist capture some wayward, wily turkeys.
Combining her knowledge of gemstones and psychology, Kim creates a unique sleuthing style to tackle her first mystery.
Tired of heroines who are too stupid to live? Longing for a fast-paced story without all the blood and gore? Craving likeable characters, challenging puzzles and a touch of romance? Yearning for a book that is both fun and edifying? And maybe a pair of precocious dogs to add a bit of humor?
You’ve come to the right place.
Read on.
