Murder on Rattlesnake Island

A Maisy Malone Mystery, Book 2

By: Larry Names

Narrated by: Stephanie Brush

Maisy Malone and her three best friends have their Christmas day picnic at the beach spoiled by the discovery of a dead Japanese fisherman. They report the body to the Santa Monica police who notify the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department because the body was found outside the city's jurisdiction. The sheriff decides not to waste any time or money investigating the murder. Maisy is offended by their racist attitude, so she and Mabel Normand decide to use their Christmas vacation from making movies to investigate the crime on their own. The clues lead them to the back alleys of Rattlesnake Island, the old name for San Pedro's Terminal Island, where they discover a secret society of cutthroats and smugglers that has no ethnic limits.

The two young women, with the assistance of L.A. Police Detective Sergeant Eddie Brown, snoop where they shouldn't and nearly lose their lives as they hunt down the killer of Japanese fisherman Masi Tanaka.

MURDER ON RATTLESNAKE ISLAND

This is the second book in this series. The first book was good but this one is my favorite so far. Maybe because I knew who everyone was. Maisy and her little gang of friends or coworkers in the movie business finds a dead body. The sheriff's department dosent seem to interested in finding who killed him. Maisy is determined to find the killer. The body is a Japanese. The police dosent like anyone thats not like they are. Maisy goes and finds out who he is. Then she puts her detective skills to work to figure out who killed him. This is a good cozy mystery book. Stephanie Brush does a good job narrating this book.
