50 Ways To Kill Your Lover
by T. K. Sheils
ISBN: 1-59279-596-X (Electronic)
ISBN: 1-59279-717-2 (Paperback)
In this flashback to the first of the Hunter Knox adventures, Hunter reveals to Melonie (in bed, of course) how he became Hunter Knox and who Lorraine Who Wasn't was.
It all took place, he explains, aboard the HMS Hephaestus, a ship that has sunk a dozen times while under the command of Captain Agropoulos. In it we meet such memorable characters as First Purser Thougg Pfistic and the very dead Velbig Fossage, corpse about town, who manages to get himself bludgeoned, stabbed, strangled, poisoned, shot and variously murdered including being blown up.
Nearly everybody, therefore, becomes a suspect, including Lorraine Who Wasn't and the question becomes not one of Whodunit but Whodunitlast.
A typically bizarre Hunter Knox mystery, which also includes the first appearance of beloved preacher T. Keenly Shureglow and his rendition of "The Heavenly Ladder."
Genres:
Mystery / Detective / Humor
Length: 216 pages

Read what the reviewers are saying...
"4 Daggers!...A rollicking good tale that will leave you second-guessing every colorful character you meet aboard this ship-that-refuses-to-sink. Sheils' fiction is positively lyrical, his characters funny and real. The enchantment of the islands is brought to life as you cruise along on a ship with more aliases than the murdered con man. A wonderfully entertaining read."—Ingrid Taylor, All About Murder Reviews
"...Not a 'normal' book...and we all should be thankful for that. While most of the principal characters are either Canadians, or non-Canadians seen through opinionated Canadian eyes, 50 Ways To Kill Your Lover should appeal to an international audience. It is a wonderful piece of froth. Unrepentant comedy is difficult to write at novel length and...Terry Sheils has come through with an intelligent piece of buffoonery...[it's] cotton candy, sweet, sticky, and totally addictive."--KnowBetter.com
"4 Angels!...T. K. Sheils has given the readers a book that resembles the game, Clue. We have the suspects and their means of killing, now we just have to figure out, along with Hunter, who did what and how....A fascinating tale that has you guessing up until the end of the book. The reader will laugh at some of the antics these characters go through to arrive at the conclusion of not only who killed Velbig, but also who was the first one who tried and who was the one who finally did the job."--Donna, Fallen Angel Reviews
Read a short excerpt...
“…In fact, if you check the fitness center, you will find him there still, in a lady’s locker, naked, dead and…upside down.”
The minute it was out of his mouth the man known as Wally Mazur simultaneously wondered why he had said anything and regretted having uttered a word. And it wasn’t that he had left out the towel. It had just seemed like a prize-winning story to his J-and-Befuddled mind…even without the towel.
But he suddenly realized that the dead old guy was going to be discovered sooner or later and, despite the official efforts to keep it quiet that there would undoubtedly be, people were going to hear about the corpse in the ladies’ locker room.
And some of those people who heard would be at this table right now.
And they might wonder about Wally Mazur.
And the old guy had said he had been poisoned.
And Wally was potentially in deep shit.
And all he could do right now was tough it out and pray for something impossibly lucky to happen—like the ship to sink.
Which wasn’t too far-fetched, Wally thought. Though he knew nothing of its history, he did realize that it was named for the god beneath the sea…
