Ruby Herring Mysteries

Detective Jake Killian and his forensic team initially believe Natalie Billings' fatal car accident was caused by cardiac arrest, but Ruby points out bizarre aspects. The victim was poisoned with colchicine, a herbal drug used to treat inflammation, not sabotage. A new will in the private vault gives all to an ocean charity, except for a million each to her lover, Dr. Steve McClurren, and the housekeeper-confident. The poison was administered through a smoothie at the gym, where the bar is run by Roger Davis, a charming painter who was rejected by Natalie for a commissioned painting.
