MWSA Review

Someone is killing off the millionaires. Author Marlene Carter brings us an intriguing mystery in her book The Million Dollar Club. From page one, Carter guides the reader into her protagonist's hunt to identify the person behind a series of murders. At first, they seem unrelated, but the connection to the murders of three separate members of the Million Dollar Club provides a definite link.

Carter's protagonist, an investigative reporter and blogger, becomes obsessed with tracking down those responsible. Despite warnings from the police, her family, and her friends to back off, she aggressively digs deeper. As a result, friends and family members get attacked, and someone tries to kill her. Refusing to be deterred, even when a link to the Russian mob is established, Carter's protagonist keeps pursuing her target.

This is an easy-to-read mystery that most fans of the genre should enjoy.
