Murder Unrehearsed

by Roxanne Dunn

Genre: Mystery, Suspense

When aspiring young actress Heather Shelton jumps in the car with her dog, Bear, and flees to her family's mountain cabin to escape an untidy romance, all she wants is peace and time to study for auditions. What she gets is murder. The only witness of a savage killing—and squarely in the cross-hairs of a ruthless assassin—she is injured and left for dead.

Heather knows handsome men are bad news, but hottie lawman Matt McCrae's smile gets her every time, until he leaves her hanging out as bait to trap the killer. McCrae promises to protect her, but fails, and she faces the killer alone, with only Bear to help.

Excerpt from Murder Undetected:

“The rumor flying around Chevalier is that you tried to blackmail Viane. I know you’re a little crazy.” Arielle winked. “But not that nuts.”

“Actually, I did.”

Arielle’s eyebrows shot up. “Seriously?”

“Seriously. I hoped if I could get hush money from her it would be tantamount to an admission of guilt, something I could take to the gendarmes.”

“That’s brilliant. So, now the whole town thinks you pushed her down the stairs because she refused to pay you.”

“They’re wrong. I didn’t push her. I kicked her.”

“Brittany Ann Thornton, where are your manners?”

Britt allowed herself a small smirk of satisfaction. “It’s okay. She pushed me first. After she drugged me with heroin and hit me with a ginormous frying pan. Then she was going to finish me off with a syringe full of nicotine.”

Excerpt from Murder Unrehearsed:

Matt stopped. His mouth hung open for a few beats. “What are you doing here?”

The darkest parts of me, those that I kept stuffed way down inside surged to the surface. My face burned with indignation. I was Kate the Shrew at her best. “How dare you! You and your pretty little Live Like King Tut fable. You kiss me and tell me you liked it. You say you are my biggest fan. You pretend to bare your soul. You think I can’t figure out what’s going on? All you want is for me to believe that you’re a good guy, so you can leave me hanging out for a pack of wolves. So I can end up as dead as Mariella. Well, damn you all to hell!”

Slick as spit, Matt reached out and took my hands. “It’s not like that.”

I wrenched away. “Keep away from me, you – you Judas!”

What are you passionate about right now?

I want to tell everyone about the plight of the endangered Southern Resident killer whales, three pods of orcas in the Pacific Northwest, where I live. Highly intelligent, social animals, they normally hunt and travel together in matriarchal groups of twenty or more, but since 2013, they have broken up into bands of three or four and spend more time offshore because, due to a marked decline in salmon, there is not enough food for all of them.

I adore the Southern Resident killer whales unlikely champion, Eba, the whale-poop sniffing dog. An alert, intelligent, six-year-old white and tan mixed breed, she lives and works in Friday Harbor, Washington, with research scientist Dr. Deborah Giles. And, the perfect ambassador, she greets everyone by wagging not just her tail, but her whole body.

When the whales are in the area, Eba and Giles are out on the bow of a research boat. Eba’s job is to sniff out whale poop so that Giles can scoop it up and analyze it. An ounce of whale poop yields a ton of information about the orcas, their state of health, and how various factors in their environment affect them.

Giles’ analysis informs us and tells us what we can do to help change the path to extinction. If you’re interested, you’ll find a photo of Eba and a lot of information, including a BBC documentary narrated by David Attenborough at https://www.wildorca.org/.

Recently, I ran into an old boyfriend “You’re looking good,” he said, pulling me in for a hug.

I started to smile and say “thanks.”

“… for an old broad.”

Ah, well, being an old broad isn’t all that bad. Instead of rushing off to work each morning, I take my coffee out to my flower garden and plot.

Right now, I’m working on my third novel. Chloe Eugenie Duval finances her Paris apartment and extravagant lifestyle by picking up diamonds and other baubles left lying around by careless owners. I won’t be surprised if a body turns up soon.

When not writing, I’m trying to help save the endangered Pacific Northwest killer whales. And I cook, clean, garden, do yoga, text my grandchildren, update my website, phone my aunts, teach my husband how to make pie crust, and make sure I have clean underwear. My life is rich and full.

To quote essayist John Burroughs, “I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, and all the friends I want to see.”
