Murder In Okoboji
Paperback
by Peter Davidson and Beverly Peterson.
Richie Lee is mentioned in this book.
 "Murder
In Okoboji," a new book by Peter Davidson, is the story of greed,
deceit, mystery and murder. In this tale, things are rarely what
they appear to be and there are many surprises as the story unfolds.
The story is set in the Okoboji resort area of Iowa and includes
many actual businesses and real people. This was a very fun book to
read. Lots of twists and turns as the story progresses. As the
description says, things are often not as they appear to be. In
fact, almost nothing is as it appears to be, which made reading the
story great fun as there was one surprise after another. The story
is set in the Okoboji resort area of Iowa and that there are many
real people included in the story along with some fictional
characters.
Murder In Okoboji is available at many retailers including Barnes
and Noble, through
amazon.com and
barnesandnoble.com.
