50 Shades of Dead: Our New Murder Mystery


In this murder mystery, a young woman goes out to dinner with a man she's just met at the theater where they've watched 50 Shades of Grey. He bears a striking resemblance to the actor who portrayed Christian Grey and also has a "red room". She decides to take a walk on the wild side with deadly results.

The three mysteries in the series star female homicide detective Yvonne Dauphin and take place in New Orleans. Although the novels occur in numerical order, each can be read as a stand-alone. The first book of the series, Fighting Demons, opens with my main character checking herself out of a psychiatric hospital after a bipolar meltdown, determined to show her boss that she is up to the task of capturing a serial killer. The second book, Deadly Promises, is about human trafficking. Several young women are found dead in a shipping container from Poland and Yvonne and her team must figure out how they came to meet such a terrible fate.

Take a trip to New Orleans and walk the streets of the French Quarter with Yvonne and her handsome partner Rick Vente.  Meet her wild younger sister who writes erotic romances and poses for photos of herself scantily-clad next to exotic animals in order to unearth information about her sister's latest case.  Meet the sassy ladies of the evening on Bourbon Street who have a special relationship with both detectives.  There's plenty of romance in these mysteries too as the main characters fight the conflicting feelings they have for each other.

All of these books are available at Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Google Play Book, and Kobo.  Here are direct links where you can purchase this mystery for $2.99.
