Severed Search

Seven Savvy Sirens formed a formidable fraternity of pure-passion purpose for female fatales. Murder-minded maids promised patient pursuit of tensile tangled truth while warily watching crafty crook's coup. But, busted and bested, dames drink despair like lambs laid lame in trickster's thorny trap.

Not really. It wrote itself. It is a takeoff from a murder mystery I wrote about a reading club, "The Wednesday Club," of women who were continually pushing their noses in police business to "help" solve the murder of one member of their club.

Thank you so much Dorian. The Sirens were members of a Wednesday reading club, who constantly drove the Police nuts by attempting to help them solve murder mysteries. : - )
