Two Murders Too Many

Meet Charlie Simmons, Shannon’s newly-badged police chief, loved by kids and dogs everywhere. He’s in way over his head on this one in Two Murders Too Many, but Charlie has never been known to back down from a challenge: in this case, two grisly murders and a string of blackmail victims showcasing the Who’s Who of Shannon, a small, Midwestern town in an earlier time.

Charlie soon discovers the murdered victim, a local postman, also ran a lucrative blackmail enterprise, his list of victims in the Who’s Who in Shannon and all with something to hide. As Charlie masterfully untangles this network of extortion, a local wife comes up missing. Did she run away from an abusive husband, or is there a second victim somewhere?

Two Murders Too Many, Bluette Matthey’s latest mystery and thriller, is an adaptation of true and terrible events from her father’s childhood, which captures life’s most innocent and darkly evil, no matter where you live. Welcome to Shannon, where whimsical meets wicked, but murder never goes out of style.
