Poison Pen
A Claudia Rose Mystery No. 1

by Sheila Lowe



      When Lindsay Alexander, Hollywood publicist, is found dead in her Jacuzzi with a suicide note on the floor, the police rule the death as a suicide. Forensic handwriting analysist, Claudia Rose, divorced and pushing 40, is asked by Lindsay's partner, Ivan, to investigate her death. He claims her death is murder since Lindsay had so many enemies.

As Claudia searches for a sample of Lindsay's print writing for analysis to compare with the suicide note, she uncovers many shocking facts about Lindsay and the business she was running on the side. There are many rich and powerful people who don't want this to be known. Claudia's search for the proof of Lindsay's murder is complicated by her attraction to Joel Jovanic, the detective investigating Linsay's death. He is skeptical about the value of Claudia's handwriting analysis.

This is a well written story with intriguing characters. Claudia is presented as intelligent, resourceful and independent. The suspense is constant, the action rapid. The handwriting analysis throughout the book is fascinating. The information about handwriting in the story fits well within the story. The reader may begin to wonder just what his (or her) handwriting may reveal.
