Written for Murder

There is trouble in Datesville. When Elizabeth, a regular member of the town's backgammon club commits suicide, the town is upended. Elizabeth's best friend and fellow club member is wracked with grief. Sadness turns to anger when she uncovers that Elizabeth was being blackmailed. Rather than face the blackmailer Elizabeth stepped off the backgammon board. Ida is forced to roll the dice, trying her luck at beating the mysterious blackmailer at their own game. Aided by her love interest Komawuut a Thai man, the two uncover the secrets that lay hidden in the small town, from the truth of Elizabeth's family to the strain on fellow backgammon club member, John's marriage. Secrets will be revealed. The dice will be rolled and words said that are said can't be unsaid. Approx. 50,000 words in length. It is a standalone (reading prior or future volumes not required to enjoy the book, no cliffhanger). Themes include: backgammon, small town, emails, blackmail
