Cause for Murder
Hawkman Series, Book 7

by Betty Sullivan La Pierre



      Betty Sullivan La Pierre has done it again with Cause for Murder. Hawkman gets himself involved in a strange murder mystery after his adopted son, Sam, finds out that the stepfather of a childhood acquaintance, Maryann, has been killed in a local motel. Sam takes it upon himself, along with his friend Richard, to help Maryann and her mother fix up their house after the death of Maryann's stepfather. While repainting and doing other home repairs, Sam begins to question Maryann's agenda.

Hawkman finds himself looking at Maryann, her mother, and her Native American father as possible suspects.

Betty Sullivan La Pierre has developed other important characters in Hawkman's life in Cause for Murder. Hawkman has been quite developed through her other novels and even though he helps the police investigate the murder, he seems to be low-keyed in Cause for Murder.

The aspect of having the biological father possibly being the murderer of the stepfather of Maryann adds an interesting twist. More twists are included when it looks like Maryann or her mother could have done the deed themselves.

A fan of Hawkman or good quality murder mysteries should pick up this series.
