The Shrimp Attack — Laurel Richards

Murder in a crowded room. When private investigators Cassie and Mitch attend a party to kick off their town's first Shrimp-a-thon, they don't expect the hostess to wind up dead on the floor. Now Cassie and Mitch must account for all the guests and figure out who had a motive to kill Dr. Tanya Prasher. The doctor made a lot of enemies when she built her monstrous pink house and struck deals that hurt local companies. Is the killer a wronged businessman? An angry ex-employee? A vengeful neighbor? Or is he or she someone much closer to the victim? If they can figure out the motive for the attack, then maybe they can identify the killer.
