"A Killing Season" -- A Solve-It-Yourself Mystery

Page 45

Detective Victoria Marx must determine if a woman who apparently accidentally fell to her death from a balcony was in fact murdered by one of her children because she was going to change her will.

The fourth tale in my ongoing The Fifth Precinct series, this story continued to chronicle the actions of my protagonist Karen "Victoria" Marx and her sometime-partner Sergeant Tom Wills.

Woman's World got over 2,500 submissions the month I submitted this story, and of all those they chose my story, which is high praise indeed. And it's been read by more than 1.6 million readers, which is even higher praise.
