<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A woman's body is found in a Dumpster at a medical center in Northern California. Aimee Machado, who has just joined the hospital staff as forensic librarian, soon discovers that the prime suspect is her brother Harry. Aimee is determined to clear her brother's name, even if it means teaming up with her cheating ex and putting her own life in danger. Book 1 of a new mystery series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Aimee Machado is thrilled to be starting her first job as a forensic librarian at the medical center in the town of Timbergate, north of Sacramento, California. Her ebullient mood is somewhat dampened by her recent breakup with her former live-in boyfriend, Nick Alexander. And then there's a little matter of murder: on Aimee's first day on the job, a body is found in the hospital Dumpster, soon identified as her supervisor's wife, Bonnie Beardsley. Aimee's heartbreaker of a brother and best friend, Harry, just happens to be one of the last people to see Bonnie alive, but he is hardly the only suspect. Bonnie was notorious for her wild partying and man-stealing ways, and she has left a trail of broken hearts and bitterness. Aimee is determined to get her brother off the suspect list. Aimee's snooping quickly makes her a target. Isolated on her grandparents' llama farm where she fled post-breakup, she realizes exactly how vulnerable she is. Three men have pledged to protect her: her brother Harry, her ex, Nick, and the dashing hospital administrator with a reputation for womanizing, Jared Quinn. But they can't be on the alert every minute, not when Aimee is so bent on cracking the case with or without their help. Book 1 of a new series featuring amateur sleuth Aimee Machado.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Due For Discard has everything you're looking for in an entertaining novel--a twisty mystery, a fast-paced plot, lots of laughs, and a spunky heroine in Aimee Machado.
