Conundrum

An old woman is found dead in the hospital chapel, and an investigation concludes she was murdered. When the mystery surrounding her death is connected to the newly appointed chief of surgery, head nurse Amber Brooks is quickly drawn into a web of lies, deceit, and intrigue. Because the prime suspect, Dr. Nelle Toussaint, is Ambers good friend and she is positive of her innocence, she becomes an amateur sleuth who is determined to clear Nelles name and find the real murderer. To aid in her quest, she enlists the help of Frank Peyton, a surgical resident, and Harry Gage, a retired cop and hospital security guard. Ambers path takes her from homeless shelters to an out-of-state convent and eventually back to the hospitals board of directors, where the truth behind the womans murder is found to be more convoluted than the cover-up. Using realistic dialogue, creative characterizations, and vivid settings, the suspense of M. L. Holles Conundrum will keep readers turning pages until the shocking conclusion is revealed.
