Invitation to a Murder - State of the Murder Mystery, #1

VEsther Luttrell crafts a chilling tale of murder and suspense in this Missouri State of the Murder mystery. Dena Brooke receives a frantic call from Doug Stafford, her best friend's husband, begging her to fly halfway across the country to be with him and his wife, Ginny, in their darkest hour-their son has been brutally murdered. Doug has no way of knowing that by accepting, Dena has put her own life in danger.
A deranged killer is suddenly stalking Dena, but why? And why was the son's apartment ransacked if he was killed in a random drive-by shooting as police say? With Ginny spiraling into an emotional breakdown, Dena is in a life-or-death situation with no one to turn to. This State of the Murder mystery grabs you up and whirls you into a breathtakingly twisted and heart-stopping finale."Action, suspense, romance, and a lot of raw human emotion.
The author did an amazing job of portraying the grief mother of the murdered boy, an anguish that bordered on madness. The behind-the-scenes look into the making of a movie was an added bonus. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a multi-layered murder whodunit that keeps the reader guessing till the very end." - Laurie Hananton, 4-star review.
