Book Description
Millionaire Sanford Embury is found dead in bed, alone, with the door of his second story bedroom bolted shut from the inside. He was known to be a controlling husband, refusing to give his pretty young wife an allowance of cash or her own checking account. "Eunice Embury was neither mean nor spiteful of disposition. She had a furious temper, but she tried hard to control it, and when it did break loose, the spasm was but of short duration and she was sorry for it afterward. Her husband declared he had tamed her, and that since her marriage, about two years ago, his wise, calm influence had curbed her tendency to fly into a rage and had made her far more equable and placid of disposition." Was his wife a party to the murder, or perhaps did she commit the murder in a fit of rage? Who else had a motive? And how does a clue of raspberry jam point to the killer?

Book Description
JOYCE YOUNG, DIVORCED BUSINESSWOMAN. FITNESS FANATIC. SEX ADDICT. HER SECRET PAST MAY HAVE FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HER... Devoted to the pleasures of the body, Joyce Young had taken very good care of her own. Which made her murder all the more chilling: she had been brutally mutilated in her own bedroom, and the only clues were the bizarre traces of sugar found at the scene of the crime. Private investigator Mike McCleary and his partner and wife Quin St. James are called in by Joyce's grief-stricken stepbrother. Their hunch is that they're dealing with a serial killer, someone Joyce knew in her less-than-pristine past. As they enter the seamy world of custom-made porn, the bodies begin to fall in a path leading to their own door—a path they must cut short before they, too, drown in the sickly sweet smell of death...
