Crimes of Commission: Diana Rittenhouse Mystery 3/5

Realtor Diana Rittenhouse is as shocked as everyone else in her small North Carolina town when someone starts murdering their commissioners. The police believe the deaths are unrelated. After all, these elected officials are different in gender, race, political persuasion, and personality. Their unique domestic situations, and romantic entanglements suggest individual motives for each murder and many different suspects.But as Diana, along with her longtime lover Matthew, elderly mother Vivian, and best friend Liz are drawn into the circle of intrigue, they come to believe the only common denominator for the murders is the victims' roles as commissioners. The five have the power to rezone, issue permits, and reject or approve multi-million dollar land deals. Most disturbing of all, Diana's pet real estate project emerges as the likely catalyst for the killings. As she digs deeper, Diana is targeted as the next victim. And as the complex truth emerges, she fears the killer is not an unknown psychopath as the police assume, but rather someone in her closest circle of friends.Crimes of Commission is the third of five Diana Rittenhouse mysteries. It follows A Lethal Listing and Blood Brothers, all are available as both paperback and e-books.
