Rippling Red (Dusty Kent Mysteries Book 3)
Another Dusty Kent mystery from Amazon Best Selling author JB Rowley (writing as Brigid George). This Australian murder mystery takes the reader behind the friendly laid-back facade of Darwin, Australia's northern capital, into a world where a crocodile roams the waterways in search of revenge and evil ripples in the hearts of humans. The suicide of Cody Bongiorno is devastating to those left behind. But was this gentle young man manipulated into taking his own life? Is there a link between Cody's death and the horrific crocodile attack on his comical friend, Jerry Lucas? Following on from her stunning success in solving the murder of a famous Byron Bay resident, amateur sleuth and investigative journalist Dusty Kent is once again determined to bring resolution to the families left behind in the wake of these tragedies. Rippling Red unfolds against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets as layers are stripped away to reveal twists, surprises, shocking truths and finally, the dark secrets that lie beneath still waters. This is Book 3 of the Dusty Kent murder mysteries following Murder in Murloo and A Devious Mind. **It is not necessary to read the Dusty Kent murder mysteries in sequence. Each one is a different stand-alone story with new characters except for Dusty and Sean: the two main characters who feature in all the stories. In other words, the books constitute a series of stories NOT a serial.

A Dusty Kent Murder Mystery by an Amazon Best Selling Author! It was a silent death. One blow to her head was all it took. The killer struck Marcia Hamilton, a sixty-year-old grandmother of slim build, from behind. Marcia’s status as a distinguished author could not save her. The killer rolled her body, ‘like a piece of discarded junk’, down into a gully where it remained for almost two weeks. This murder is the most heinous crime imaginable: the crime of matricide. Dusty Kent is sure of that. But which of Marcia’s four offspring would be capable of such a deed? Dusty is determined to expose the murderer no matter who it is. Can she do it before the killer strikes again? Someone who’s already killed their mother would have no qualms about ‘bumping off’ a mere sibling in order to avoid exposure.
