Bad Bood

For Readers who like their mysteries with a little humour.

.

A robbery gone wrong, Detective Joe Rafferty thought, when the latest murder victim, wealthy widow, Clara Mortimer, was found battered to death in her home. Then Rafferty learned she wasn't a widow at all–and her estranged husband was living in the same block under a false name.
*
But that's not the only suspicious aspect of the case: Clara Mortimer's family add another complication, not eased either by their several deceptions or by the difficulties in Rafferty's personal life, which, as always, seems to be guided by a malign fate and take his eye off the investigatory ball. But could he help it if his automatic reaction when his live-in girlfriend Abra said she might be pregnant wasn't exactly New Man? 
*
Their investigation brings Rafferty and Llewellyn face to face with just how down and dirty families can be--and not just the families of murder victims.
