Greyhound Blues: A Rachel Chance and Will Keller Mystery
註釋

Rachel Chance is enjoying married life, especially since it includes not one but two Greyhounds, Abby and Zane. She’s torn in multiple directions, though. A real estate colleague draws her attention to possible shady dealings by a colleague who works in her stepfather’s firm. At the same time, she tries to sooth hurt feelings from her family after she decided to elope with Will Keller.

Rachel is glad for the distraction of helping her stepfather Frank McClure raise funds for a new jazz museum. She is fascinated by the story of how a recording studio in a small town in Indiana was so important to the evolution of jazz across the country. When local philanthropist Walter Carmichael announces he will fund the jazz museum and arrange for funding into the future, it seems as though a new jazz museum will be a reality.

Musician JJ Jackson returns to Glen Falls, Indiana to support the construction of a new jazz museum dedicated to the history of jazz recordings made there. Soon, he’s embroiled in drama as a bitter rival, Greg Norton, tries to derail plans for the new jazz museum and disparage JJ’s reputation.

When Greg Norton is murdered, a Facebook page with a local focus immediately throws suspicion on his colleagues in the real estate business, including Rachel’s stepfather. Rachel is determined to find the murderer and save the reputation of Frank’s real estate agency.

When suspicion for Norton’s murder falls on JJ Jackson, the plan for a new jazz museum is suddenly frozen. Despite pleas from JJ, Walter Carmichael will no longer fund the museum.

Rachel enlists her husband Will in her search for clues. They discover Greg Norton may have been using illegal methods to secure real estate sales. As they talk to Norton’s colleagues and clients, they find more than one person with a motive for murder.

Greg Norton’s lavish lifestyle led to debts he couldn’t pay. Could his wife have seen the payout of a large life insurance policy as a way to solve her financial problems? Even with all the debt, there are hints that Norton had hidden a large amount of cash. Rachel knew the search for the hidden cash was a key to solving the mystery.

Further Facebook posts are filled with misleading information and accusations. Some of the accusations point a finger at Rachel’s stepfather which motivates her to find a killer before McClure Realty is crushed by negative publicity.

Every time Rachel and Will think they have found an answer, more questions arise. The path to the hidden money puts Rachel and Will directly in the path of great danger. When it seems that a killer may be escaping justice, Rachel and Will decide a risky plan is the only option.

In an exciting conclusion, Rachel’s life is threatened. The mystery is solved, and a killer unmasked, when not one but two Greyhounds intervene to help bring a murderer to justice.
