Report for Murder
Self-proclaimed cynical socialist-lesbian-feminist and freelance journalist Lindsay Gordon is strapped for cash. Why else would she agree to cover a fund-raising gala at a girls' public school? But when the star attraction is found garroted with her own cello string moments before she is due on stage, Lindsay finds herself investigating a vicious murder.
"A timeless mystery, well-plotted with crisp dialogue and solid characterization. "―Orlando Sun-Sentinel
Common Murder
When her former lover is accused of murder--at a women's peace protest, no less--Lindsay must bring all of her expertise as an investigative reporter into play--and uncovers a truth even she can scarcely believe.
"McDermid's snappy, often comic prose keeps the story humming. "―Publishers Weekly
