THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARTY
Book 3 in the Working Stiffs Mysteries
by Wendy Delaney
A fun, humorous whodunit!
"Through her nimble use of wit and humor Ms. Delaney delivers rich, eccentric characters and clever plot twists that promise to keep the reader turning the page."
It was Marty McCutcheon’s bad luck to die on his birthday. Then again, since Marty is the third husband his young widow will be burying, maybe luck had nothing to do with it.
As Deputy Coroner Charmaine Digby discovers when she questions Marty’s widow about his sudden death, she had ample opportunity to kill him. Victoria McCutcheon even admits as much, right before she asks Char to solve her husband’s murder. What? A suspected black widow who wants her husband’s murderer brought to justice? Victoria McCutcheon is either the most skillful liar Char has ever encountered or someone else has spun a web of lies to cover their murderous tracks. But who, and why?
With no hard evidence to go on, it’s up to Char and her ability as a human lie detector to break this case wide open. Assuming that someone doesn’t crack her skull open first!

MY REVIEW
A well written, wonderful mystery!
In this third book of the Working Stiffs Mystery series,
author Wendy Delaney has delivered a truly entertaining mystery that pulled me
in from page one.
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARTY is the first book I’ve read in
this series, but it certainly won’t be my last. I also plan to go back and read
the first two.
I enjoyed protagonist Charmaine Digby. She was so
interesting to spend time with. And I really like that she is a “deception
detection specialist” aka human lie detector. It will be intriguing in future
installments to see how often that super power may let her down. The supporting
characters that round out the series are multi-layered and add just the right
feel to this series.
Author Delany’s writing style is crisp and clear, flowing
across the pages in a way that compelled me to read just one more page, just
one more chapter, until I found myself at the end of the story in record time!
I’m very much looking forward to my next visit into Ms.
Delany’s world.
