It's time to kick back, grab a drink, lock the kids out of the house for a few hours, and lose yourself in the small town of Glory, and the drama of the people who live there especially the feisty seniors who make up the Murder Mystery Club, and Susan Collins and Mark Treymayne who are consistently butting heads on the way the local newspaper, The Glory Examiner is run.

Mark is the temporary editor in chief and all he can see about the paper is financial, while Susan loves the paper only the way someone who loves her community and job can. Both agree that the only way to keep the paper local is to raise circulation, but with a small town is there enough activity to keep news fresh, subscription numbers climbing, and ad revenue increasing?

Susan believes that she has a great story that will be just what the paper needs, but convincing Mark that something is truly up with the Baptist Church's annual bake sale, but when one suspicious accident after another happens to Susan will she become the story instead of what ever might be up with the bake sale?

Ms. Hawkins writes characters that are well rounded and appear to be able to rise from the pages to be standing in front of me including me in their story. The mix of humor, real life woes, and light suspense is near perfect, and I believe will have you closing the book wishing for the next installment. I know that I am.
