About this ebook

A daylight burglary turns to murder when Ginger Barnes's neighborhood friend returns home at the worst possible time. Thefts and threats and wild accusations swiftly follow, tightening tensions on previously peaceful Beech Tree Lane. When elderly eccentric Letty MacNair is mugged on her doorstep, the message is clear—anyone could be next. Gin's discreet inquiries sped investigations along in the past, but this time crime is targeting the amateur sleuth's safe haven. Does she have something more daring in mind?   Writer's Digest Award Winning Author

Author

Donna Huston Murray

Donna Huston Murray’s cozy mystery series features a woman much like herself, a DIY headmaster's wife with a troubling interest in crime. Both novels in her new mystery/crime series won Honorable Mention in genre fiction from Writer’s Digest. Her eighth cozy FOR BETTER OR WORSE was a Finalist for The National Indie Excellence Award in Mystery and was also shortlisted for the Chanticleer International Mystery & Mayhem Book Award. FINAL ARRANGEMENTS, set at Philadelphia’s world famous flower show, achieved #1 on the Kindle-store list for Mysteries and Female Sleuths. At home, Donna assumes she can fix anything until proven wrong, calls trash-picking recycling, and although she should probably know better by now, adores Irish setters. Donna and husband, Hench, live in the greater Philadelphia, PA, area.

    At first this book was boring, but I kept reading and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome! Ginger had solved one mystery and she was back at it again and refused to heed her husband's or the police to not get involved, but of course she didn't listen. First there had been robberies in their neighborhood, then one woman had been attacked, and then another. Her neighbors were concerned about whether they should move especially when an old woman recluse refused to take control of the very high weeds. I liked that Ginger took care of the old woman as no one else had bother to show up, then Letty's money was stolen and the two hundred dollars was what she lived on. I never read the first two books, but I was not disappointed with book three.
