FIVE STARS! The sixth book of the Minx Tobin Mysteries, Susanne
Marie Knight takes the newly engaged Minx and Gabe and plops them in the middle
of a complex case that involves one of Minx’s co-workers. Minx tries to stay
away from murder investigations, but they always seem to end up on her
doorstep. While the Homicide department solves most of the cases on Gabe’s
desk, the murder case where Dallas Porter is the prime suspect is getting more
complicated each day. New suspects are identified only to become victims
themselves. Ms. Knight knows how to weave a murder mystery with lots of humor,
unbelievable plot twists and a satisfying love story to keep the reader glued
to the page. Can Gabe find the real murder before Minx becomes the next
victim?--Single Titles Review
This is a fantastic book! When is the next book in
this exciting series coming out?--C.B. {Editor's note: Six Minx Tobin
Mysteries are now available for purchase in ebook and print.}
Real life tidbit: I’m extremely lucky to have my own
office space. I like to decorate the room with reference books, pictures,
business supplies, etc. Yep, I’m a *junkie* for colorful paperclips, file
dividers, envelopes--you name it! In THE EMBEZZLED ENVELOPE, Minx also deals
with a few envelopes--and at least two of them happen to cause more damage than
just a paper cut!
Scene
Setup: At the Elite Exercise Emporium, Minx’s co-worker and friend, Sadie,
delivers a mysterious envelope.
“Hey, got something for you.” Sadie
reached under the counter and pulled out a sealed white envelope. Neatly typed
on it were the words, “For Minx Tobin.”
Minx took it. “What’s this?”
“Don’t know. Was in the drop box we
have right out front. Maybe it’s a piece of fan mail.”
“Fan mail, that’s a laugh.” Minx
ripped the envelope and removed the flyer inside. After giving it a quick
glance, she crumpled the paper and threw it into the wastebasket behind the
counter. Her hand stung a bit so she wiped her palm on the yoga pants.
“What was it? A love letter from Hugh
Jackman?” Sadie batted her cornflower blue eyes.
“Nothing so exciting. Just a twenty
percent off sale on exercise clothes. Some new boutique shop opening just down
the block.”

I hope you enjoy Minx and Gabe’s adventures!
Happy reading,
