Murder at Villa Tacoma

About the Book

Alexander LaGuardia is offered the opportunity to move his designer dress shop to the newly opened Villa Tacoma, an upscale mall built into a historic building formerly the home of a high school. Evana Stevenson, a recent widow, accepts a position as an accountant for the luggage shop owner who is an identical replica of her deceased husband. The death of the owner’s twin brother forces Evana to question why not one but two other men should so closely resemble her husband. In the meantime, the IRS arrives for an audit of mall shops based on inaccurate payroll reports, intimating Evana or her boss have been fudging the books. Anna Swensgard, the mall’s owner, enlists Alexander to be the eyes and ears assisting detective Lieutenant Sarkis in his investigation of not only the death of the luggage owner’s brother but another body found on the mall grounds. When a stash of exotic cars with questionable ownership is discovered on the premises, Sarkis struggles to determine which clues belong to which crime.
