Stiff Penalty

Mattie Winston, deputy coroner extraordinaire is back. This time she’s pregnant and on the case of one Derrick Ames, a math teacher who has been stabbed to death with a barbeque fork. While all the evidence points to the man’s own son, Mattie refuses to believe it. Could this be the case of a student who REALLY hates math (and who doesn’t)? Or is there someone else who had a grudge against the teach?

Mattie is back crazier then ever and so are the people around her. She's due give birth anytime now and thefdad is AWOL but wait he doesn't know she's pregnant. Seems someone is stalking Mattie and her dad is back but why.? I enjoy this series and this book is no different.

Stiff Penalty by Annelise Ryan is must read mystery thriller. This story is highly unusual for its kind making it the number one novel that readers will want to read. The story is about a pregnant woman who is a deputy coroner is out on the prowl as to who stabbed a math teacher with a barbecue fork. The weapon was straight in the heart. Why would someone want to kill a high school math teacher? And who had any motives to do so? Mattie also has her own problems. One being pregnant and having her estranged father following her around. Can Mattie solve the murder case before someone decides to kill and her unborn child? And even with all the evidence pointing to the dead teacher’s son as the killer, will Mattie be able to clear him or find him guilty? I highly recommend readers to pick up this brilliantly yet stunning novel to find out what happens next. Mattie Winston is no ordinary sleuth. Overall, I rate Still Penalty a five out of five stars.
