Evie Bloomfield is hoping for a promotion at her job with
a Chicago advertising firm when she sets off for Mackinac
Island. She's supposed to help her bosses father with
his bike shop.
Rudy broke his leg and really hoped his daughter would
help him out. Instead, he gets Evie who wants to paint
the building. Rudy's business is being threated by the
Historical Society since his building doesn't meet their
stringent criteria.
Evie discovers the body of Bunny Harrington later. Since
Bunny's brakes were tampered with and she was just
threatening Rudy, Rudy becomes the prime suspect.
Since Evie can just see her promotion sliding down the
tubes, Evie decides she has to solve the mystery of
Bunny's death and keep Rudy's business afloat.
As an outsider, Evie keeps the locals alienated in her
quest for the killer, especially the interim police
chief. At the same time, she finds herself happier than
she has ever been. Life on Mackinac Island has her doing
things she's never done before.
GEARED FOR THE GRAVE has the perfect combination of
events for a comedic mystery. The humorous elements had
me laughing out loud. The search for the killer had some
unusual moments with a surprise ending. There is also a
good looking police chief who seems more annoyed at Evie
but there a a couple of moments where the attraction
surfaces past the irritation.
This is my first Duffy Brown book but I enjoyed it so
much that I will be searching out her other series. It
also has me greatly anticipating the next book in the
Cycle Path series.
FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!
Mackinac Island is a peaceful summer resort town where
everyone coasts through the streets on bicycles. But after
someone sends a prominent local on her final ride, it’s up
to one resourceful visitor to get things running again…
Hoping to shift her chances of a promotion in her favor,
Evie Bloomfield heads to Mackinac Island to assist her
boss’s father. Rudy Randolph has broken his leg and
operating his bike shop, Rudy’s Rides, is too much to
handle
by himself. But Evie’s good turn only leads to more
trouble…
After Evie’s arrival, wealthy resident Bunny Harrington
dies
in what looks like a freak bike accident. Upon closer
inspection, Bunny’s brakes were tampered with, and now the
prime suspect in her murder is also Bunny’s number one
enemy: Rudy.
So if Evie hopes to stay on her boss’s good side, she’ll
need to steer Rudy clear of jail. Now she must quickly
solve
this mystery so she can put the brakes on the real
killer’s
plan…
