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.
