Jury Duty is Murder by Kate Damon

By Kate Damon

Pages: 275

Format: Paperback, eBook

Genre: Cozy Mystery

The verdict is in; a famed athlete is
headed for prison. The jurors have done their job and are free to go
back to their lives. But after being sequestered for four months, life
as some knew it no longer exists.

HAROLD ASHMAN’s house is almost
destroyed by a careless driver. Exotic dancer, CEECEE LAINE, discovers
that her boyfriend is two-timing her, and she no longer has a job. Actor
ALEX MANNING learns his career is down the tubes, and 72-year-old,
HELEN RYDER, discovers her family is plotting to put her in an old folks
home.

Then things take a turn for the worse.
When former jurors start dropping like flies, CeeCee, Helen, Harold and
Alex are convinced there’s a killer on the loose. Now the feuding
foursome must find him before he kills them—or before they save him the
trouble by killing each other.

Jury Duty is Murder is available at Amazon.

Here’s what readers are saying about Jury Duty is Murder!

I
was having a bad day, and this book was enough to lift any cloud. I
laughed out loud, I was sad with them, and I was surprised by the plot
twists even in the epilogue. Great ending. Perfect for fans of Murder in
the Building and Man on the Inside. I hope there will be more with
these characters.

Kate
Damon’s Jury Duty Murder is a fun, fast paced, riddled with humor
who-dun-it, told through the eyes of four ordinary, yet distinct folks
who are so incredibly relatable, you’ll feel like you know them as soon
as they are introduced. Thank you, Kate, for giving us this curl up in
your favorite chair and read straight through adventure!

 Book Excerpt

The ringing telephone woke me up. Without opening my eyes, I felt around until I touched the nightstand and finally, my phone. “Hello.”

“Wake up.”

I groaned. “Alex, what do you want?”

“I need you to wake up.”

I forced myself to sit up. The clock on the radio said it was after ten. “This better be important.”

“Something is terribly wrong,” Alex said. “It’s the thirtieth and nobody’s dead.”

“Hallelujah.” I hung up and dived back into my pillow. The phone rang again, and I groaned. Only Alex would think that no dead bodies meant something was

wrong.

I rolled over and grabbed the phone. “Now what?”

“No one’s dead.”
