Final
Decree
By Kay Finch
Corie
McKenna, a Houston PI whose hobby is writing lyrics for country
music, is hired by attorney Wade Alexander to assume surveillance
on Suzanne, the wife of Edward Kemp, a prominent orthopedic surgeon.
Kemp has been served divorce papers by Suzanne, and wants to fight
to gain custody of their son. He is suspicious of her nocturnal
absences from their home.
On her
first night surveillance of Suzanne, Corie witnesses Suzanne being
gunned down in her own driveway, but is unable to see the assailant.
Kemp is the logical suspect, but he has an alibi. Corie must find
the truth and prove his innocence. Her investigations lead her to
an exclusive men's club and startling revelations.
This
is a well-plotted mystery with characters true to life. Corie's
final adjustment to the death of her husband and her resolution
to get on with her life is treated with understanding.
Corie
is an intriguing and stimulating character. We hope we'll be reading
more of her adventures in the future.
