Danger Comes Home

A Kelly O'Connell Cozy Mystery, Book Four. Kelly O'Connell's husband, Mike Shandy, insists she has a talent for trouble, but how can she sit idly by while her world is shattering? Daughter Maggie is hiding a runaway classmate; protege Joe Mendez seems to be hanging out again with his former gang friends and ignoring his lovely wife Theresa; drug dealers have moved into her beloved Fairmont neighborhood. And midst all this, reclusive former diva, Lorna David, expects Kelly to do her grocery shopping. In Judy Alter’s Danger Comes Home, dogs, drugs and death take Kelly on a wild ride with a runaway girl and her abused mother, a relapsed former gangsta, and a drug-dealing gang in her own neighborhood. Add in an imperious recluse for variety, and as usual Kelly’s life is anything but calm. Husband Mike Shandy is right: she has a talent for trouble.
