“Little Red Corvette” – Why was the vintage Corvette abandoned at a repair shop? Jeri Howard looks into the car’s provenance, and finds murder.

“Blue Eyes” – The late Mrs. Littlejohn left a large sum of money for the care and feeding of her cat. But something about that will is fishy, as Jeri Howard discovers.

“Slayer Statute” – Who gets the insurance money? That’s the tangled case Jeri Howard must unravel when a husband and wife die in what looks like a murder-suicide.

“Candles on the Corner” – a little girl dies in a hit-and-run. Her grieving parents hire private investigator Jeri Howard to find out who is responsible. Is it justice they want, or vengeance?

5.0 out of 5 stars Facebook:Four Jeri Howard Stories.
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020
I have thoroughly enjoy reading the Jeri Howard series. In each of these short stories you learn a lot about about the law and insurance benefits. The last short story is heart wrenching. The grief of a father turns the father to murder the driver of a car who murdered his daughter. So sad. All four short stories are must reads.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent PI character
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2012

Jeri Howard is a strong, likeable and intelligent character. The first two short stories start off as seemingly simple private investigation jobs which get complicated quickly, the third is a tangled web from the start for Jeri to unravel. The fourth story didn't totally grab me but was still an interesting character driven mystery.
As these are all short stories there is no room for Jeri to follow false leads or have much of a private life but Janet Dawson still gives you swift moving plots and believable characters.
I was happy to discover another interesting PI character that already has several books in the series written.
I noticed that some of these shorts are also for sale separately so take care and don't duplicate.
