Amateur Sleuth Chiana Ryan Returns in June Whyte's THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING CORPSE

[Untreed]

The Case of the Disappearing Corpse by June Whyte:

The Case of the Disappearing Corpse is a prequel to a series of hilarious mysteries starring Chiana Ryan, an almost-13-year-old wannabe crime writer.

When a babysitter discovers a dead body in her garden, Cha decides to use all her super-sleuth talents to hunt down the murderer--and just maybe win the online crime-writing contest with her story. It’s not as if there’s any lack of clues.

First, there’s the suspicious pink handkerchief with the letter K embroidered in the corner. Then a bent old man in a grey cardigan and baggy trousers tells Cha all about the two aliens who landed their space-mobile on the church roof. And what about the disappearing body that turns up two days later in the garden shed?

With the help of her friends, and against the firm advice of a local police officer, Cha leaps into the mystery and discovers--almost too late--there’s a big difference between a storybook mystery and the real thing.

About Author June Whyte:

My name is June Whyte and I'm married to Jim, have three grown kids, a horse called Honey and a soppy white whippet called Ralph. If I’m not out riding Honey or checking greyhounds for injuries after they’ve raced, you’ll find me at my desk in Elizabeth, South Australia, working on my next book.

I’ve worn many hats over the years. So many I should have opened a hat store. Let’s see...I've been a kindergarten/primary-school/high-school teacher, an admin. assistant in an office, trained winners in prestigious races while wearing my professional greyhound trainer’s hat, I've had books published on greyhound training with Rigby and text books on both racing greyhounds and horses for TAFE SA colleges. In my spare time I competed successfully (and sometimes disastrously) in dressage, showjumping and one-day-events.

And now I write fiction. After two humorous children’s mysteries, Murder Sucks and Suck Eggs which were published by Zumaya, I’ve become an e-author in the innovative Untreed Reads’ stable. In both Chasing Can Be Murder, the first in the Kat McKinley greyhound series which hit online bookstores in September 2010 and Sex On Tuesdays, the first in another humorous mystery series, I straddle two genres, mystery and chick lit.

Who’s my favourite author? Well, I do enjoy reading most cozies and romantic comedies but my favorite author is a toss-up between Janet Evanovich and Jennifer Crusie – can’t get enough of either.
