Christmas Punch: A Matthew Paine Mystery
About this ebook
When a doctor is urgently summoned, Matthew rushes to help. But he’s too late.
Was the man murdered?
Suspecting foul play, Matthew calls the homicide detective he’s befriended, who confirms that suspicion. The senior partner in the law firm hosting the event was killed, but why?
When Matthew signs on as a medical consultant to help with the investigation, is he targeted by the assassin or are some “accidents” merely that? Is his life in danger?
One arrogant suspect undoubtedly had a beef with the senior partner, though he won't disclose what it was. Another harbors an unrequited love for the wife of the murdered man, over thirty years later. Are either of them guilty of killing him?
You’ll love Christmas Punch – the festive fourth book in Lee Clark’s Matthew Paine Mystery series – because everyone enjoys a classic southern holiday whodunit mystery.
