Paula Murphy

Side out for Murder Paula Murphy

A beautiful day at the beach, a women's volleyball tournament ends with the death of the tournament favorite. Fortunately, I have a list of suspects: o JoAnne Greene, Barbara Dahl's coach, a media personality. Her houseguests don't like me. o Erica Mueller, Barbara's opponent. Erica has exquisite taste, a breath that smells of peaches. She may not care for me now, but tomorrow who knows? o Diana Purdy, the umpire, very attractive, very married and a crack shot. o Sara Newcombe, Erica's partner in the tournament, very attractive and, hopefully, very available. Was that Sara I saw nude in Erica Mueller's apartment? o Dee-Dee Williams, one of the few black girls on the professional circuit. She played on Barbara's team in high school, which ought to have made them friends. Don't forget "Barbara's Kids." I loved those kids the moment I saw them. Though all I have is the memory of seeing Barbara play that one day on the beach, I fell in love with her, too.
