Murder at the Company Picnic: Hannah Scrabble Cozy Mysteries

By Marty Donnellan

It’s 1974 in Mountain City, North Carolina. Watergate and Richard Nixon, no cell phones or personal computers, and car windows that hand-crank. Goat-loving typesetter, spy thriller author, and amateur sleuth Hannah Scrabble is taking photos of Dickson’s annual picnic for the company newsletter when a sudden storm causes the party tent to collapse on the guests inside. In the mayhem that follows she sees someone slipping out of the tent and running away. Later in the wreckage a body is discovered – none other than Sheldon Sharpe, Dickson’s new Chief Financial Officer and the man everyone loves to hate.

Who killed Mr. Sharpe? What accounted for the strange hold he had on William Dickson, the company’s founder and president? What’s in those pictures she took? Complicating things are a new man in Hannah's life. When she takes her investigation to the next level, it starts costing her more than she bargained for.

This novel is rated "G" for General Audiences.
