From back cover: It’s back to school time in the peaceful Maine town of Tinker’s Cover, and for mother-of-four Lucy Stone it isn’t a moment too soon. But trouble at the local elementary school soon has the sometime crime-solver juggling family, job, and night classes with another mystery to solve. And it starts with a bang.
A bomb goes off with the noon lunch bell, but not before all the kids are safely evacuated, and Carol Crane, the new assistant principal, is hailed as a hero. But days later, Carol is found murdered and everyone is stunned when the most popular teacher at the school is arrested for the crime. However, not everyone is buying the open-and-shut case, including Lucy Stone, who senses there’s more to things than meet the eye.
It soon becomes clear that Lucy is flirting with danger, as sizzling secrets and explosive surprises provide a primer for the most diabolical of motives. Hot on the trail of a clever killer, the dedicated mom and seasoned sleuth must harness the courage and cool aplomb to uncover a crime that just might give her an education in the fine art of murder.
My Review: Love these books – I guess because the main character is a female, mom, wife, and works full time. There is humor and a little suspense. The characters are real to life although some are not developed very deeply (ok with me in these books). Any more cozy mystery fans out there in blog land? Let me hear from you and tell me your favorite books. I want to know about more of these books. I love books by Leslie Meier and I love Joann Flute’s books. Any more out there along these lines? Please let me know.
