Jury Duty is Murder by Kate Damon

 Four former jurors, once at odds, reluctantly join forces to track down a serial killer. They answered the call of duty. Now, someone wants them dead.

 About Jury Duty is Murder:

          The verdict is in; a famous athlete is headed for prison. The jurors have done their job and are free to go back to their lives. But after being sequestered for four months, life as some knew it no longer exists.

          Harold Ashman’s house is almost destroyed by a careless driver. Exotic dancer CeeCee Laine discovers her boyfriend has been two-timing her—and she no longer has a job. Actor Alex Manning watches his career—stalled by the prolonged trial—go down the tubes and 72-year-old, Helen Ryder learns her family is plotting to have her declared incompetent.

          Things only get worse when other jurors start dropping like flies. Convinced there’s a killer on the loose, the feuding foursome must find him before he does them in—or before they save him the trouble and murder each other.

 Our Review: Author Kate Damon created four totally diverse characters, then presents them in a way every reader will relate to. Hapless Harold is exactly that—completely helpless with nowhere to go—until the threats start. CeeCee, perhaps the leader of the pack, is a total hoot and despite all her rough edges, wins our hearts. Alex is the one who perhaps demonstrates the long standing writer concept of a character arc. And Helen. . . the pole dancing classes will show her tenacity and determination to go on. This one’s a winner on every account.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, Jury Duty is Murder merits a 6.
