The Case of the Filthy Beast

 Two best friends hunt for clues in a werewolf attack, only to find the monster is closer than they think. 

 About the Book:  Nurse Lexi Burns’ perfect life quickly unravels after the mysterious death of a young girl. Unconvinced by the official story, and ignoring warnings by local police, Lexi and her best friend, Zelda, embark on a hunt for the truth. Facing danger, betrayal, and a shocking revelation, they risk everything to expose a killer lurking in their midst.

 Our Review: Two women, best friends almost from the womb, fight the prevailing system of male supremacy, chauvinism and other testosterone riddled ‘way of things’—often to their despair and disappointment. That does not stop them, however. Lexi is a strong woman, fed up with her lot in life, and ready to speak her truth, not only for herself and her peers but for a dead teenager. Zelda, an absolute hoot of a high school English teacher, fits the role of lead egger-on like she was born to it. The tragedy of the death of a young woman who had everything good in her future is not lost on the zany turns the story occasionally takes. Lexi and Zelda fight the system to bring a measure of closure for the family—as well as the townspeople who give new meaning to the phrase, go along to get along. Author Karmazin may be new to the publishing game but she is someone to watch. Her talent and spunk will serve her well.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, The Case of the Filthy Beast merits a 6.
