Milo Rathkey Mysteries #6

Clues, Cash, Pieces of Murder: A Milo Rathkey Mystery

Rate this book
Why would someone buy seven ugly, winter hats in May? Police Consultant Milo Rathkey wanted to know but the buyer told him to mind his own business. Milo would have forgotten all about it if the Hat Man hadn't been found floating face down in a nearby river. Who murdered Hat Man? The clues center around a radio station contest that has treasure hunters pouring into Duluth in search of a quick payday. All Milo really wanted was four double-A batteries.

300 pages, Kindle Edition

Great, great book!!!!

I really love this series, even if the booms come a long time apart.
Milo is my hero, when he gets called by Lieutenant Gramm to help on a case, his mind lint gets cleared out.
Who would figure a radio station's treasure hunt could turns so ugly!!
Boy there was a lot of greedy people, secrets, deception, wanting to fit in, hiding fugitive, and murder.
There was some many pieces to this mystery, Gramm and his team kept hitting dead ends. ( Pardon the pun!)
Family greed and family feuds, gets real ugly.
Now you have to get this book, it will have you laugh out loud with Milo's conversations.
You won't be disappointed!!!!

Milo and friends are a hit

Thank you, Elroggs, for this wonderful series. I’d love to have this delightful group of people as my friends. I’m a former Minnesotan who enjoyed the familiar references, though I’ve visited Duluth and would not choose to live there. The humor and banter is great fun. The murder mysteries and puzzles made me think. There’s enough money that all financial problems are solved and I’m always craving Ilene’s crème puffs and other breakfast delights. The whole series is lighthearted and a perfect respite from the grim current events on the evening news. Please bring these interesting characters back again.

Milo Rathkey is one of the most endearing characters in mysteries today. These novels are funny, warm, clever feel good mysteries. CLUES continues the excellence. Although it stands alone, reading at least the first in the series is highly recommended. I look forward to every new one. I only wish there could be more. Come on D.B.! After all, there are two of you!

Just got old. The story is more about the characters and their quirkiness. But they’re quirkiness is the same as it has been in the same previous books and it just got boring. Nothing new to capture my attention so not even halfway through I just gave up what was once a promising series has become a dud series.

Milo is a winner.

I think Milo Rathkey is fascinating. Love how he arrives at a solution without knowing the problem...or it seems that way. The author has assembled a great supporting cast . loved this book.

I love this series! Milo is a hoot! The verbal riposte is clever and amusing. There are always a few subplots that all come together in the end. This one involves a treasure hunt involving jigsaw puzzle pieces. I can’t wait for the next book!

Best book in the series so far!

This book was fabulous. Building on all the previous storylines and with some great new characters thrown in for good measure.
Plots and twists are what keep bringing me back to this series! Can’t wait for the next adventure!
