"A Hint of Murder" by talented Author Lia Fairchild is sure to delight readers who enjoy "whodunit" type mysteries. There are three well-written short stories in this mystery/thriller.The first one in this trio is THE WRITER...about award winning author, Alicia Fairfield and the mysterious deaths that seem to co-incide with the main plots and characters in her lastest novels. Detective John Lewis from the local Sheriff's Department is searching for clues to connect the murders. Despite all the information gathered, there is an unexpected twist at the end which adds to the intrigue.The second story is titled THE DOCTOR...which takes place predominately in a hospital setting. With his somewhat arrogant persona, Doctor Russell Morgan appears to be one of the main suspects in a series of mysterious deaths taking place in the hospital where he works. Detective John Lewis is once again on the scene and leading the investigation with his sidekick, Frank. I enjoyed the rapport they shared and the discussions they had dealing with the case as well as the method used to solve this crime.The last story in this trio is THE BOUNCER...with aspiring singer/bouncer Bobby Crane becoming the first suspect in the murder of Allan Schaffer. He is observed at the crime scene on the day of the murder. Needless to say, other suspects ensue and Bobby is eventually cleared. I enjoyed the introduction of Detective Lewis' new sidekick, rookie April Barnes...with her preference to be called Barnes, and how they worked the case.All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this trio of mysteries. All three of them captured my interest right from the first page to the last. I certainly look forward to reading more by mystery Author Lia Fairchild.Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteGrowing Up & Liking It
