Mystery Cozy
Traveling secretary Hattie Davish and her trusty typewriter
alight on a small town in Illinois, where the Civil War may
long be over, but certain mysteries refuse to be buried. . . Hattie Davish is delighted to be ably assisting her wealthy
employer, Sir Arthur Windom-Greene, an English scholar who
is fluent in Civil War history and hard at work putting
together a definitive biography of General Cornelius
Starrett. Their research takes them to Galena, Illinois,
where they quickly learn that time has done little to heal
old battle wounds. Distrust and betrayal seem to linger in
everyone's minds, none more so than the General's pompous
son Henry. And Hattie is certain he has something to do with
a string of bizarre incidents in town—especially when he
turns up dead. . . Between her work for Sir Arthur, preparing for Christmas,
and unscheduled visitors from her past, Hattie hardly has
time to investigate a murder, but soon she is lost in a
labyrinth of secrets and deceit that leads to more questions
than answers. Henry had a knack for finding trouble and
making enemies, and there's no shortage of
suspects—including Sir Arthur. Now, Hattie must uncover the
truth while maintaining her civility in a most uncivil
situation. . .
