Meet the new Nick and Nora Charles of Silicon Valley
If you want something a little more romantic with your mysteries, this Love Can Be Murder trilogy may be just the tasty morsel you need.
Who Is Lee Alvarez?
With dark hair, twilight colored eyes and a fiery temper, Lee Alvarez is about as hard-boiled as a two-minute egg— this Sam Spade fan wears Vera Wang.When she met Gurn Hanson, she knew she had found her equal, a man who lived life to the fullest, wanted to right the wrongs of the world, and had a great sense of humor. It didn’t hurt that he was a great kisser, too. Sometimes the perfect mate is out there.
Who Is Gurn Hanson?
The man with the impossible-to-remember first name, Gurn Hanson is an ex-Navy SEAL. Still a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, he teaches NROTC whenever possible to give back to his country. His CPA business functions as a front for his frequent trips to Washington D.C. as an advisor to the Pentagon. When this six-foot-two man with the green-gray eyes met Lee, he knew he finally found his match in a woman.

Maybe her abandoned-at-birth daughter? Wherever Lee Alvarez and hubby Gurn Hanson look, someone bears the wealthy lady ill-will. Speaking of wills, they are all in hers. And none of them will be sad if she dies.
