About this ebook
A grown man living in his mother's basement, disgraced detective Arthur Beautyman knows his life has fallen off a cliff. But that doesn't mean he has to be happy about his mother's solution to his woes: volunteering him to solve a case for her favorite bridge partner.
The body of a young man who disappeared three years before is discovered drowned in an icy Minnesota late on the day of his father's restaurant grand opening. But he’s only been dead for three days. Where has he been all this time? And what is the connection between his death and the new restaurant?
To get his mother off his back, Beautyman agrees to take the case. That's when he discovers she wants to be his partner on the case as well ...
With a recipe of unique cast of characters and terribly dysfunctional families, The Marinara Murders seamlessly blends comedy and mystery into one very enjoyable read.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good read, with an assortment of likeable/hateable characters, a tangly plot, and an outrageous climax that manages to be both shocking and heartwarming. A bonus is the brief epilogue describing the real-life events that inspired the novel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Arthur Beautyman is back. Unfortunately he's no longer a police officer. Arthur is living in the basement of his mother's house in Minneapolis. For six months he has felt sorry for himself and done basically nothing. But now he's been forced to accept a case as a private investigator on behalf of one his mother's friends in The Marinara Murders by Erik Hanberg.Fortunately for Arthur this is not a typical case. Mrs. Diamond doesn't want Arthur to find a murderer; she only wants to discover where her grandson has been for the past three years. Why is this so important? Because her grandson was declared dead three years ago but his body only recently discovered revealing he had just died. Arthur doesn't want to disappoint his mother so he accepts the case. What follows is a wild and topsy-turvy but fast-paced ride along with Arthur as he investigates Jakes' disappearance. Little does he know that this investigation will place him in dangerous situation and reveal more intrigue and possible murders from the past.Arthur is slightly more comical, not as obsessed, and just a tad more likeable in The Marinara Murders. Seeing him work with and around his mother is at times funny as well as sad. The cast of characters in The Marinara Murders is eclectic to say the least, and includes the Diamond family (can we say dysfunctional), Detective Holst, members of Hmong community and more. The Marinara Murders is released today, so don't hesitate to get a copy today . . . you will not be disappointed.
