alternate cover edition of ASIN B01KEDWHMG The antics of seven inheritance recipients during a week-long stay at a Connecticut estate are detailed by protagonist Jill Jocasta Fonne. The will of her aunt stipulates that if anyone leaves early, his or her share will be divided among those remaining. As it happens, one does leave—permanently—when he dies just hours after arrival. Guests and staff alike have secrets to share as Jill and her colleagues, Rey and Linda, discover when they step out of their chosen professions into the roles of amateur sleuths. But are these secrets the reasons that bodies start appearing and disappearing? Others soon join in the sleuthing, and the bumbling and stumbling—and mayhem—begin.

The novice sleuths accept their first official detecting assignment: uncovering the “secret” of an elderly millionaire’s pretty young wife. If they succeed, their newly founded business, The Triple Threat Investigation Agency, will prove a viable venture. The twist: the wife is found murdered along Oahu’s sapphire shores. And there’s a secret all right, one of many, but they’re not all the deceased woman’s. Who of the unconventional cast of characters is the murderer? As JJ (Jill), Rey and Linda begin fitting puzzle pieces together, they stumble upon a few more bodies. A straightforward task becomes anything but. They’ve dealt with murderers in past, however, thanks to a wacky “collect your inheritance” week in Connecticut; while this new set of quirky personalities proves equally taxing, they have enough faith in their \[budding\] talents to persevere and unscramble clues. Here’s an opportunity for the women to prove they made a wise choice in becoming bona fide detectives. Can they do it before the murderer strikes again?

Rookie private eyes JJ, Rey and Linda stumbled and bumbled through their previous assignments with stellar results. Now the trio, proud owners of the Triple Threat Investigation Agency, have yet another multi-murder mystery to solve. Who set up their client, socialite-turned-trucker Buddy Feuer, to take the rap? And where is nutty Coco Person, who has been MIA since the murders went down? In their detecting travels, they meet up with former acquaintances, some of who may not be all that they seem. Add bombs and debt collectors to the list of ingredients, and you have one explosive recipe.

The proud owners of the Triple Threat Investigation Agency - JJ, Rey, and Linda - have a new case. Who set ablaze two happening Chinatown art galleries, leaving charcoal-broiled corpses in the rubble? Any number of curious characters in the local art world could be responsible, including a haughty gallery owner with a questionable past, an art consultant who lives on the edge, and an aspiring manager with a dicey history. If the gals can figure out the “why”, they’ll have their “who”. But what was the driving force behind the crime?

The pretty private eyes from the Triple Threat Investigation Agency-JJ, Rey, and Linda-have a new case, thanks to a serial killer who has taken a serious interest in them. The GrimReaperPeeper has challenged them to "play the game", by his rules. Rules are made to be broken, however ... or, at the very least, altered. Baffled but resolute, the trio attempt to determine who he might be. Not an easy feat, given the lack of constructive evidence and cast of oddball characters. As they endeavor to stop the killer, they must solve a couple of other cases: verifying whether a hubby has a roving eye and ascertaining who is stalking a young, beautiful woman. As clues are uncovered, so are coincidences. Could it be that these two cases somehow intertwine? Might there even be a connection to the serial killings? Who will prove the ultimate winner in this deadly game of taunts and perplexities: the clever and cunning GrimReaperPeeper, or the persevering and persistent PIs? The fifth novel in the Triple Threat Mysteries by Tyler Colins, HA-HA-HA-HA is a compelling cozy mystery with grit and plenty of laughs, and twists and turns.
