Garden View Cemetery has big plans to celebrate President Garfield's 179th birthday. When Pepper Martin is tapped to coordinate the exhibit with her usual flair, she is hindered by the ghost of Garfield who is not at all pleased with the hubbub near his tomb. Still, all would be well if not for obnoxious volunteer and self-appointed Garfield expert Marjorie Klinker whose grandiose plans and drill sergeant demeanor are pushing Pepper's sanity to the limit. When Marjorie is thrown to her death over a second floor railing in the Garfield Memorial, there are an abundance of suspects. Not to mention a few quiet celebrations among the neighbors who object to Marjorie's spotlit nine-foot tall back yard statue of President Garfield.
Pepper Martin is as fashionable and sassy as ever as she determines to catch the killer to spite her detective ex- boyfriend. Throw in identity theft, a handsome stranger, and an increasingly creepy stalker and the stage is set for an entertainingly cozy mystery. Daniels populates her sixth book in the series with a cast of zany yet believable characters. The mystery is light and frothy with hints of romance...perfect for a relaxing read.
Cemeteries come alive for amateur sleuth/reluctant medium
Pepper Martin.
Cleveland's Garden View Cemetery is hosting a James A.
Garfield commemoration. For tour guide and reluctant medium
Pepper Martin this means that's he'll surely be hearing from
the dead president himself. And when she's assigned to help
plan the event with know-it-all volunteer and Garfield
fanatic Marjorie Klinker, she'll wish Marjorie were
dead...too bad someone beats Pepper to it.
