The Jane Doe Book Club is hot on the trail of another real-life
whodunit in Kate Young's third peach-perfect mystery, for fans of Ellery
Adams.
Lyla Moody and her book club, the Jane Does, are hosting a Halloween
party at Magnolia Manor, tailored after Agatha Christie's A Murder is
Announced, but when the lights come on after the staged murder, a real
victim lies dead with a gunshot wound in her chest. The victim was an
estranged relative of Elaine Morgan, operator of the B&B, who'd earlier
been seen arguing with her about the fate of the property. Suspicion
immediately falls on Elaine, and she's arrested.
The Jane Does believe Elaine is innocent, and when they get the chance
to team up with police officer Rosa Landry--a member of the club--they
jump on it. But then, the club discovers that two more murders have been
brazenly predicted online and in the Sweet Mountain Gazette--and that
one of the intended victims is Rosa.
Lyla thinks she knows who the killer is, but the only way to find out is
by laying a trap using Rosa as bait. But, like an Agatha Christie
mystery, the truth is never what it seems. Lyla and her trusty book club
will have to sleuth out the killer before Rosa meets her final
chapter.
