The Case of the Mail Order Bride

Sheriff McBain has his hands full when he hears that Noah Loomis has been killed. The man knew too much and he dealt into too many money deals. Someone wanted him dead. He was a scion of an old and wealthy family and now that he is out of the picture, McBain has to find out why. Noah was a steady drinker - an alcoholic. Was he already dead before the killer struck? It’s up to McBain to find the truth before another murder takes place. With a list of people to interrogate, it will not be an easy task. And when he has to question the sister of the bride, this is one woman he does not mind questioning.

When Remy Macabat’s sister comes to America to marry a rich American, no one imagined a murder would take place at the reception. Now Remy is being questioned by the sheriff and things begin to take a turn in her life.

The Case of the Mail Order Bride will have you guessing throughout the book. It has so many twists and turns that the reader will be turning the pages for more clues. Just when you think you have the answer, another character comes into play that has you thinking otherwise. No sooner than the couple recite their wedding vows and head for the reception, a murder takes place drawing the reader into a well-crafted mystery. Mr. Broussard knows how to write a good story that will keep you glued until the last page. I liked the way he made the characters, especially the sheriff. I could almost visualize him in every scene. This is my first book by Mr. Broussard but I look forward to more by this great writer.
