In Plain Sight (Robin Light #3)
It’s raining in Syracuse. Amateur sleuth Robin Light half-wishes her pet store, Noah’s Ark, would just get up and float away—business is that bad. But just when she thinks she’s sold her last macaw, two clients come calling. The first one needs protection from a brutish husband; the other needs protection from bats. Although she knows that bats are basically harmless and only some husbands are dangerous, Robin takes the cases. A bad marriage has turned Marsha Pennington from a bubbly blond to an overweight, unhappy woman. Her husband Merlin, a bat exterminator, has been systematically draining the life out of her for years. Just out of spite, Merlin is threatening to take away Marsha’s pride and joy. She simply can’t live without Pooh and Po, her twin Shihtzus. Maybe that’s why she’s found dead only days after enlisting Robin’s help. Who would want to murder a lonely, soft-hearted woman who didn’t seem to be a real threat to anyone? A visit to Merlin raises more questions than Robin can answer… and reveals more intimate secrets about the Penningtons than she ever wanted to know. Soon, a startling series of clues and suspects begins materializing right before her eyes. But it isn’t until after Robin receives a mysterious invitation to a secluded farm that the solution becomes clear. Only by then, it may be too late: Robin has already been marked for certain extinction by a vicious killer who waits… in plain sight.
The Scent of Murder (Robin Light #4)
Murphy was Robin’s ex-husband who’d lived fast and died too young. And now, his 15-year-old daughter Amy was in trouble recently named the prime suspect in the sensational murder of her wealthy stepfather. Suddenly, the inveterate sleuth finds herself moving through the edgy, drug-infested world into which Amy has disappeared. Hitting up on her street connections, Robin plugs into a secret network of strippers, addicts, and runaways, where a low-life named Toon Town appears to be calling all the shots, and where Robin has to find a terrified young girl, before it’s too late.
Endangered Species (Robin Light #6)
The Only Thing She’d Endangered. . .
For Robin Light, running a pet store was a decent way to make a living–but solving the occasional crime was much more interesting. So when neighborhood tough kid Manuel and his cousin Eli wandered into her shop with a wild story about a suitcase full of smuggled Cuban cigars, Robin couldn’t resist nosing around.
Was Her Life
But what she found wasn’t exactly the harmless–if illegal–scam she expected. Someone was trading in something far rarer than exotic tobacco–something worth much more than easy cash, to somebody who was prepared to kill for it. And when Eli’s roommate turned up dead, Robin discovered she might be next in line. . .
Blowing Smoke (Robin Light #7)
In the seventh installment of Barbara Block’s critically-acclaimed mystery series, private investigator Robin Light sets out to uncover the truth about an elderly heiress’ connection to an enigmatic stranger who may—or may not—be communicating with the dead. With Syracuse suffocating under a shroud of relentless summer heat, Robin Light’s exotic pet store business is slow—and her semi-pro detective business is even slower. But Robin’s seasonal tedium and her financial crisis are about to be remedied, thanks to a trio of adult siblings who are certain something sinister is simmering at their widowed mother’s mansion.
Rose Taylor’s children, Hillary, Louis and Amy, are convinced their inheritance is being squandered by their mother, whom they believe is the unwitting victim of a scam. The con woman in question: so-called pet psychic Pat Humphrey, who located Rose’s supposedly kidnapped cat and won not just a substantial reward, but the woman’s undying gratitude—and a place in her will.
Assuming she’s a fraud, Robin visits Humphrey, posing as a client seeking advice about her dog—and comes away with startling evidence that the woman might just be the real thing. Then Pat Humphrey disappears—just as the body of the Taylors’ buxom maid is found floating in the swimming pool.
As the sizzling dog days unfold, Robin finds herself embroiled in a case that takes one shocking twist after another, as she tracks a cold-blooded killer.
Rubbed Out (Robin Light #8)
Robin Light has had better days. Business at her pet store is painfully slow. Syracuse has had twenty-three consecutive days of snow. And she’s trying to quit smoking. . .again. So when ex-cop Paul Santini calls, offering a cakewalk of a job finding some rich lawyer’s runaway wife, Robin takes the case–without getting all the facts. She gets her first clue that something isn’t right during a visit to the worried husband, Walter Wilcox. His story–that his wife’s therapist is to blame for her disappearance–doesn’t ring true, either. It isn’t long before Wilcox is singing a different tune, one that includes his eighteen-year-old mistress, expensive trinkets, and Janet Wilcox taking off with a good chunk of their money.
Only it isn’t really Wilcox’s money. It belongs to his employers, a couple of Russian wiseguys who don’t take kindly to being swindled–and before Robin can tell Walter that she’s found his wife in New York City, she finds him tortured to death. It’s too bad for Walter. . .and even worse for Robin. Apparently, lawyers talk a lot under extreme pressure. They even mention names, like that of a certain part-time P.I. Now, with the Russian mob convinced she knows where the money is, Robin is on the run, desperate to find Janet, recover the stolen goods, and keep everyone she knows from becoming landfill. . .
