Till Murder Do Us Part

About the Book

No one suspects murder when astronaut Pete O'Kelley dies a hit-run accident—until his widow, Marlow, learns he had deposited a quarter of a million bucks in a bank account and spent it all in four months.  Then Pete's executor, a NASA administrator, is found dead on a picnic table at the Johnson Space Center, a meat cleaver planted in his back.  Not wanting to tell anyone about the money, but knowing the deaths are connected, Marlow turns sleuth to track down a bold killer who leaves no clues.  Despite painful revelations, she must dig out the truth about her brief, turbulent marriage and about Pete's death.

 In this first of a mystery series, Marlow O'Kelley, an irreverent structural engineer who renovates homes for rich Texans, battles police and NASA poobahs as she untangles the intrigue surrounding the players who would kill to win a multimillion-dollar government contract.

 Fast paced and tightly plotted, Till Murder Do Us Part is a riveting, brain-teasing murder mystery.
