Looking for an experimental modern mystery to read at the beach?  Amazon yesterday published an e-book (Kindle) and paperback from Star alumnus Bill Grigg called A PERFECTLY NATURAL MURDER.
It is uniquely told by three participants, a raunchy ex-Marine with post-traumatic stress disorder, a witty woman lawyer — and the dead victim!   It is set in a  insurance company, and Bill reports many of its ideas stem from his late wife, Martha Livdahl, who was the  director of employee publications at GEICO..  (Martha also worked at The Star.  In the book, the discovery of fraud leads to a nearly perfect, "green" murder for which the ex-Marine and the lawyer get blamed, battered and targeted for death themselves.  The imperfect  hero is trying to clean up his car but says, “Give me some slack, please!  It’s not like you never heard the word before!”
You can read a free sample of  A PERFECTLY NATURAL MURDER by Googling  Amazon books, putting in the book’s name and then  clicking on the book’s cover., If you read the book and like it, please leave a review on Amazo, as positive reviews spur sales!
Bill was The Star’s medical writer, covered the Senate and then was press aide and chef of staff for Congressmen Gilbert Gude and Newton Steers.
