    About this ebook

    It was a bright and shiny Beverly Hills afternoon when Shell Scott opened his door to find intrigue lying at the foot of his apartment...in the form of a corpse! Just another day in the sun for the private eye with a nose for danger. He’s got to dodge bullets and bounce Beverly Hills beauties in his search for the thug that interrupted his afternoon nap before someone puts him to sleep permanently. Now the only way this private dick is going to cop z’s is by pouncing on this perpetrator and making sure to kill him not just once...

    Kill Him Twice is the 30th book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      Private detective Shell Scott receives a phone call from Black actress Natasha Antoinette asking him to hurry over to magazine editor Gordon Waverley's. Upon arrival, he discovers a badly beaten Finley Pike dead on the floor and a dazed Waverley standing over him.After a long investigation where Scott survived two assassination attempts and other mayhem, he solves the case. The long fake courtroom drama used by Scott to solve to solve the case slowed the narrative down and as well, didn't seem very realistic.I read a number of Shell Scott novels as a teenager and really enjoyed them. Discovering this one at a garage sale recently, had made my day. Not as exciting to read as I remember.
