Bad Bood — Geraldine Evans

For Readers who like their mysteries with a little humour..A robbery gone wrong, Detective Joe Rafferty thought, when the latest murder victim, wealthy widow, Clara Mortimer, was found battered to death in her home. Then Rafferty learned she wasn't a widow at all-and her estranged husband was living in the same block under a false name.*But that's not the only suspicious aspect of the case: Clara Mortimer's family add another complication, not eased either by their several deceptions or by the difficulties in Rafferty's personal life, which, as always, seems to be guided by a malign fate and take his eye off the investigatory ball. But could he help it if his automatic reaction when his live-in girlfriend Abra said she might be pregnant wasn't exactly New Man? *Their investigation brings Rafferty and Llewellyn face to face with just how down and dirty families can be--and not just the families of murder victims.*RAFFERTY & LLEWELLYN MYSTERY SERIESDead Before Morning #1Down Among the Dead Men #2Death Line #3The Hanging Tree #4Absolute Poison #5Dying For You #6Bad Blood #7Love Lies Bleeding #8Blood on the Bones #9A Thrust to the Vitals #10Death Dues #11All the Lonely People #12Death Dance #13Deadly Reunion #14Kith and Kill #15Asking For It #16The Spanish Connection #17Game of Bones #18
