Investigating a Death

Re: “Dead Pan” by Gayle Trent

Unfortunately Fred Duncan dies and Daphne finds herself promising his mother she will look into his death. Of course Daphne’s sister doesn’t want her to, and Daphne says she won’t, but we all know our determined female-sleuths just can’t leave well enough alone. Daphne is no exception.

The criminal investigators determine that all the food served at the Christmas party was not the cause of the illness, so now the mystery is why people got sick so fast, and what did they get sick from? An antidote drug was given to everyone by a doctor at Brea Ridge Pharmaceutical. The drug had been tested in clinical trials and was successful. But why did everyone but Fred recover?

Daphne asks herself these questions, and more, as she starts to investigate Fred's death.
