Description:When a mass poisoning in a Victoria, B.C., bank leaves one person dead, no one minds until other bodies start appearing ~ even an acceptable murder has repercussions.What looks like an accidental mass poisoning at a local bank is quickly shown to be a cover for murder. The victim is Cynthia Harmon, a woman who enjoyed making enemies. No one shows much concern with the details of her death. In fact, it is an acceptable solution to many a persons' problem. That changes as the investigation progresses and secrets are exposed. The first is missing money: an
embezzlement that leads to suicide -- or does it? Along the way
relationships end, change and maybe star. It's hard to know what to do
when anyone could be the murderer. All of which becomes irrelevant when a
third body shows up. Only then do the shadows from long ago lead to the
truth.

Reviews:
"W.G.
Eggleton's debut novel Murder Makes Mischief is a great comical caper,
reminiscent of murder mystery who-dunnits from the past. It's the classic
board game Clue meets Agatha Christie meets Fawlty Towers, and a humorous take on the money-hungry world of banking...[it] has
unique character development, crisp pacing, enough red herrings to feed a vault of bankers, and inventive plotting. Well done!"

Kaye Tardif, author of Whale Song "Enjoyed the
twists and turns at the CIBC office. Sex, money and murder all shuffle
together at a fast moving pace and kept me turning the pages to find out
if my hunches were right about who was smart enough to almost get away
with the perfect poisoning." ~
L. Altringer (USA) "I packed your book to read on the beach and I finished it before the end of the second day. It's a page turner. You had me guessing, Ms. Christie!" ~ A. Horwood (Toronto, Canada) "An
easy-to-read, interesting puzzle - didn't know the bad guy until the very
end; really liked how
,
was so much a part of the story,
almost like another character!" ~
