Not Available until Release Date Pre-Order Now And Save ..... Maddy Sprowls, the plucky librarian at the Hannawa, Ohio, Herald-Union, returns for a third round of crime solving. Frustrated that none of her story ideas ever make it into the paper, Maddy finally thinks she's found one too good to resist: every Saturday, four elderly women cab around the city, hitting the garage sales. After the paper runs a human-interest article about the women, one of them,Violeta Bell, who claimed to be Romanian royalty, is murdered. Police soon nab a suspect, but the man turns out to be the brother-in-law of the Herald-Union's editor in chief, who asks Maddy to dig into the case and find out who really dunit. Is Maddy on a wild goose chase for a killer who doesn't exist, or do the police really have the wrong man? Maddy, a sixtyish woman with a sharp tongue and a willful lack of interest in technology, is a welcome relief from the charming, pixyish heroes of so many cozies. Readers will enjoy following her as she bulldozes her way through another adventure. 9781590588666 0.00 Price:
