Summary: A wife arranging alimony and her spouse avoiding alimony for another activate The KenKen Killings, 12th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series by Parnell Hall.

| Arab-Wanga alliances during the Wanga kingship (1882-1949) of Nabongo Mumia Shiundu (1849-April 24, 1949) accounted for African slave traders apprehending non-Wanga tribals in Kenya and Uganda. Perhaps the 21st-century slavers who appropriated the personal and professional freedom of Nairobian Prince Sambora, who asks Cora for $10,000, are descendants of the above-mentioned traders; Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020, 18:34, image of Nabongo Mumia Shiundu, 17th Nabongo (king) of the Wanga kingdom: Bacondrum (M2sh22pp1l), CC BY SA 4.0 International, via Wikimedia Commons |
One wife arranging alimony and her husband avoiding alimony for another spouse activate The KenKen Killings, 12th mystery in the Puzzle Lady series authored by Parnell Hall (Oct. 31, 1934-Dec. 15, 2020).
Nairobian Prince Sambora, perhaps by chat room, broaches number puzzle lady Cora Felton about borrowing, perhaps without payback, $10,000 to buy his freedom from African slavers. He consequently could have come to the United States to collect his $62,000,000 inheritance but for Cora choosing to conserve her $10,000 inheritance from Chester Markowitz. Contracted developer Fisher does the breezeway-attached addition where Sherry Carter Grant and husband Aaron Grant dwell without destroying the Felton prefab when he dynamites front-lawn bedrock.
Perhaps Aaron’s Bakerhaven Gazette earnings, definitely crossword and sudoku puzzle books, daily crossword columns and Granville Grains advertisements enable house-expanding expenditures by Cora and niece Sherry.
Monthly $1,243 alimony from latest ex-husband Melvin Crabtree, whose lawyer, Lennie Fleckstein, of Fleckstein and Stone law firm foments annulment proceedings, furnish Cora Carter/Felton/Grant household-expense funds.
The process server gives Cora the complaint generated by Lennie, who grouses about wife Emma getting her own divorce attorney, in First Selectman Iris Cooper’s presence. Cora harries ex-husbands Henry and Melvin for respectively hiring maid service for their horribly unkempt household and harboring a New York nightclub waitress on their honeymoon. She inveighs against Melvin inhabiting with blonde-haired, blue-eyed Bambi room 105 in Oakwood Motel, where eighth wife Evelyn Anne Miller Crabtree investigates them from another room.
Evelyn, wife arranging alimony for whenever she judges divorce judicious after one-year marriage to Melvin, jeopardizes the latter avoiding alimony to Cora in The KenKen Killings.
Civil proceedings kindle criminal proceedings knitting together Judge Hobbs, County Prosecutor Henry Firth and attorney Becky Baldwin when one gas- and razor-wielding perpetrator kills two witnesses.
Ben, as First National Bank receptionist, locates managers such as Roger Randolph and tellers such as Lilly Clemson for drop-in and scheduled visitors and telephone callers. David Harstein as next-door neighbor and Paul and Sally Hunter as next-door landlords to a rental room above their detached garage, respectively monitored Roger and Lilly. Boyfriend Luke Haas noted who neared Lilly when, where and why even as no one apart David noticed Roger, whose mother nestled into Iowa assisted-living niches.
A wife arranging alimony for an imminent divorce and an ex-husband avoiding alimony on a 15-year-old divorce never obtain Becky as attorney in The KenKen Killings.
Becky, who prefers not to plead for guilty defendants and plaintiffs, ponders how to pay apartment and office rent under $1,243 monthly and college loans yearly.
Police Officers Sam Brogan and Dan Finley and Channel 8 newsman Rick Reed qualify as professional acquaintances of Becky and, as client and private investigator, Cora. Becky, as Bakerhaven-born and bred, perhaps recognizes retired farm-equipment salesman Prichert and his retired schoolteacher wife as 40-year-long town residents, their three grown-up children residing elsewhere. Civil and criminal scopes of her legal practice perhaps suggest at least a face- and name-recognition, superficial professional acquaintance with Shelby Whitherspoon, Examiner of Questioned Documents.
Cora takes off five pounds, thwarts Melvin avoiding alimony if not Evelyn arranging alimony and travels in heels once, in flats otherwise, in The KenKen Killings.
