Shadow Tag, the second book in the Ray Schiller Series, has Ray picking up where he left off in Dear Crossing, his debut appearance. The grisly murder of a prominent woman in her summer home led him him on an investigation where many were suspect and few were innocent. Now he's back. Paul Davis, a top ACC executive, is found dead in the boardroom of the Minneapolis-based company. The Board of Directors claims it was suicide. And why not? He was discovered with a pearl-handled revolver in his hand and a bullet wound to his head. Detective Ray Schiller and his partner Dick Waverly, however, are far from convinced. Why would Davis kill himself less than twenty-four hours after finally taking over his late father-in-law's company? The Board and Davis's successor are quick to provide answers, but their actions suggest they're hiding something. And they aren't the only ones keeping secrets--not by a long shot. Complications infiltrate the investigation as well as Ray's personal life, and what originally seemed to be a relatively straightforward case that puts his and Waverly's lives in serious jeopardy.

About the Author

Marjorie Swift Doering grew up, quite literally, on a golf course. Her father, a PGA pro, was the owner-operator of an eighteen-hole course in a tiny town in SE Wisconsin. The distinctly unique childhood surroundings laid the foundation for her lifelong enjoyment of "people watching". Occasional reminders to "not bother the members" resulted in turning her into an introverted extrovert, a condition she's since overcome. She graduated from WSU, Stevens Point with a B.S. in Secondary Education with a major in English and a minor in Psychology. She's made continuous use of both ever since, but interests and circumstances led her away from the classroom setting. The love of writing has always been a constant in her life. A few of her proudest accomplishments consist of the production of her one-act play Flight 419 by Darknight Theatrical Productions in Chicago, Illinois in 2005, contributions to Mosaic, A Collection of Short Stories in 2009, the 2012 publication of Dear Crossing, the first in her Ray Schiller mystery series, followed by Shadow Tag, the second book in the series in 2013. Marjorie and her husband Denny live in NW Wisconsin with their springer spaniel Casey and their three crazy but loveable cats, Freddy, Dickens and JoJo.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Marjorie Swift Doering enjoys writing in many genres, but is focusing, for now, on mystery/police procedurals with her Ray Schiller Series: Dear Crossing, Shadow Tag, Targeted, Web of Silence, Remains and One Way Out.

While Marjorie comes from a family of PGA and LPGA golf professionals, from an early age, her passion has been writing. A graduate of WSU, Stevens Point with a B.S. in Secondary Education, she finds her major in English and minor in Psychology very helpful in the creation of her stories.

Marjorie and her husband Denny, the parents of two wonderful, adult children, live in beautiful northwestern Wisconsin with their Springer Spaniel and three crazy, lovable cats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous characters star in this terrific murder mystery!

I wish I could give Ms. Doering more than five lousy stars--Shadow Tag was truly excellent! For some reason, I missed the fact that this is book #2--oops! No matter! You can follow it with no problem and I've already purchased book #1, Deer Crossing--can't wait to start it! I am a stickler for good dialogue and this author delivers and delivers and delivers! Her main characters, Detective Ray Schiller and Dick Waverly are so well fleshed and their banter is as I stated above--excellent! I just love them!

Paul Davis, the newly elected president of ACC-a big company, has just committed suicide--or has he? At first all the physical evidence points in that direction, including the pearl handled .38 in his hand. Enter Ray Schiller and Dick Waverly-- now they're not so sure! The suspect list is getting heated and the lies are swirling around the office--who's telling the truth? Who was really in the office when Paul Davis died? Who had the biggest motive? Or is it all just smoke and mirrors? Ms. Doering writes a wonderful mystery filled with intrigue and twists that you won't want to miss! Want the down-low on Shadow Tag? You've got to down-load! This is a great read! This is what a mystery should be! 5 STARS!

As a book it was well written and held me for the duration good story and lots of twists and turns..... However what I found annoying was the predictable mistake of ever time there was a capitol letter as in names or streets buildings the print started a new paragraph a distracting and needless careless mistake.... Careless printers and didn't detrack from the good story line

I struggled through this book at several points, if I'm being honest. At times it felt slow & unremarkable, especially at the beginning. But I stuck to it & ground it out (never the best thing for a book) after one or two glimmers of hope early on. The story is okay, and on a scale of 1-10 it's captivating power is at a 5 to me. Would I re-read it? I don't think so. But it makes for an okay passive read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Even Better "Ray Schiller" Crime Book Than the Original!
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015

This book was off and running for me from page 4 with the passage "Two days later, her body had been discovered. Most of it anyway. But that was another story" which is always a good thing! About 25% thru I realized I had already read book 1"Dear Crossing" going on a year ago, but have to hand it to the author for adding even more complexity and depth to her characters including both the protagonist and his partner, Waverly, as well as many of the secondary characters, too, like his family and several suspects. Also loved the humor present with numerous passages like, ' "Where the hell did you learn to drive?" "The Ben-Hur School of driving." , "Then I should make you aware of my policy. I don't repeat gossip, so listen closely the first time." and ' "Don't men at ACC hit on her? She threw her head back laughing. "Are you kidding? Like a pinata." Looking back at my review for book 1 dated June 1st rated 4-stars, how can I not give "Shadow Tag" the full enchilada? Great read and I do recommend!

The more I read, the better I liked it. A bit slow in the beginning whilst gathering information about a suicide in an office, was it a suicide? I thought where is this leading me. The best part of Tis story, is that it is a complete story, you don't have to read the next book. It got very dangerous towards the ending as the police uncover more evidence.
I love reading complete stories, but it doesn't end there though, a new crime in a new story by the same author. Will be looking for the next book

Readers accompany Marjorie Doering in a whirlwind account of convoluted allegiances, murder, and heartbreaking storms on the home front in "Shadow Tag," the second of six books in Marjorie's "Ray Schiller Series." Yes, this book is yummy. Six bags of my favorite cookies were in the cupboard. Almost four of those bags remain. Restraint might constitute a responsible approach to the "Ray Schiller Series" but hell ... I don't mind sporting an extra twenty (macho) pounds. Gobbled up "Shadow Tag," and I'm already two fifths of the way into Marjorie Doering's "Web of Silence," book three in her "Ray Schiller Series." Mangia!

There're lots of suspects to consider in this murder mystery, none of whom are well-developed characters. The two detectives on the case, however, are well-defined and interact in a reasonable fashion. The plot is not overly suspenseful, but enough to keep the reader turning pages. I recommend this novel and look forward to reading others in the Ray Schiller series.

5.0 out of 5 stars good and easy read and a good story
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015

This was a good read, different. It deals with an obvious suicide in a corporation that may turn out to not be quite so obvious. It's good what happened and who done it. The answer is not at all obvious until the end. There is the somewhat annoying full explanation by the perpetrator at the end to let the reader know what happened. It's a common finish to mysteries but a bit of a cop out to me. Lots of twists and turns, good editing and writing and the characters were well developed. X-Ray is active so it's easy to keep up with who everyone is.
