"And All That Murder"
A Casey McKie Mystery


Casey McKie is a 36-year-old private investigator who lives in San Francisco’s Chinatown and hangs out at her singer friend’s jazz club in nearby North Beach.

When Dee asks Casey to check into the supposed suicide of a long-time friend, Casey hesitates. She doesn’t believe Milton Brown was murdered, since all signs point to suicide. But, friendship wins out, and Casey reluctantly agrees, believing it will be easy to disprove Dee’s theory. After a second body is found, Casey decides Dee is right – someone may be targeting people from the jazz community. As more bodies turn up, Casey follows clues to an Oakland blues club, a Seattle record company, and a Palm Springs gay escort service, her quest ending in a deadly encounter with the killer.

"If you like Janet Evanovich, you’ll enjoy Private Investigator Casey McKie. Joan Merrill gives us an entertaining, fun mystery with a satisfying twist at the end. A pleasurable debut novel."
 -Heidi M. Thomas, author of
Cowgirl Dreams.

"The author did a great job of keeping things 'real' not only with the true joys/hazards of the biz, but also bringing an accurate reading of the scene in San Francisco as well. She had me guessing till the end and added an unexpected twist too!"
- Shanna Carlson jazz pianist/singer
