by Guest Writer Alice Zogg
Hello friends, readers, and fellow authors,
I penned another stand-alone mystery. A DOOMED REUNION is fresh off the press and available in hardcover, paperback, and e-book editions.
This one is short (170 pages). Either I have learned to get my point across with fewer words or have become lazy. (haha)
As to the location, I invented a fictional town called Seabreeze and placed it along the California coastline between Del Mar and La Jolla.
People with old school ties attend a 30th high school reunion and are shocked to hear one of the attendees say he knows who murdered a classmate years earlier. That knowledge gets him killed.
Can Detective Scharfkopf with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department piece together what happened back then to catch the person who has lived with this secret all these years… before another body is added to the list?
Happy reading,

BOOK REVIEW – I read Alice Zogg’s new book. Yes, it is short, but the crime, plotting, and investigation are complete. You don’t feel cheated at all. The murder happens after a high school class reunion when one person blatantly claims to know the murderer of an unpopular student 30 years previously. Does he? Someone believes him and, in unusual circumstances “offs” the guy. The detective is charged with solving not one but two murders. The questioning, deduction, and final moments of revelation are well-plotted and written. I enjoyed reading it! ~~~ Jackie Houchin

I have been a fan of Alice Zogg’s books for years. She is one of the best in constructing a plot with a bunch of characters, each with a past, one of whom will be the killer, but she hides them so cleverly right up til the end. But if you think about it, she left marvelous clues along the way. And her settings are always fun places to wander through along with her characters. I’ve read this one and loved it. Enjoy all her books.

I agree totally about her plots and great clues – some of which are misleading (as red herrings). I thought I had this one figured out, but oops, I was wrong. Haha
