Pamela Dehnke will be speaking about the latest book in her Court Reporter Mystery Series, Merry Mayhem. It’s Christmas time in Santa Monica, California, and Addie Henkey, Court Reporter, has found herself in yet another hair-raising adventure as she reports the depositions in a 24-year-old cold case: the murder of Irv Castle, Attorney at Law. Vietnam vet Francis LeTour testifies that Castle was suicidal, and Castle’s family suspects that LeTour agreed to help him end his life. Was it LeTour who fired the fatal bullet? Castle’s wife was having an affair and was pregnant at the time of the murder. Could she have killed Castle in order to take control of the law firm and the money? Adding to the mayhem, Addie’s scheming sister, Missy, has been kidnapped. Did Missy fake her own kidnapping to extort money from her father, or is she being used as a pawn in a much larger scheme?

Pamela Dehnke grew up in Santa Monica, California, which is the setting for her Court Reporter Mystery series. She enjoyed a career as a court reporter in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas. Upon retiring in 2014, she purchased Nightingale’s Bed and Breakfast here in Ashland—a town she already knew and loved from many childhood visits—and began her new career as a novelist. She is the author of The Court Reporter Mysteries, including the prequel, Wrong Place, Wrong Time; Book 1 in the series, The Court Reporter Always Gets the Last Word; and Book 2, Upon Further Examination; as well as Cabin 12, a Sorority Sisters Mystery; and The Diary of An Extraordinarily Ordinary Woman. She is also the author of the popular blog Women of a Certain Age. Visit Pam at pamdehnke.com.
