An Old-Fashioned Murder

An Old-Fashioned Murder by Carol Miller Summary: Secrets, lies, and a splash of moonshine: a classic country house whodunit with a modern twist. After losing her husband and her home, small-town waitress Daisy McGovern moves in with her invalid mother at an old inn in sleepy southwestern Virginia. When the inn's eccentric proprietor, Aunt Emily, decides to throw a weekend party for a small group of friends and neighbors, everybody is excited--until a winter storm approaches and one of the guests is crushed by an antique bookcase during the night. At first, the death appears to be an accident. But as the storm worsens and the sheriff is unable to reach them, suspicion slowly grows. Was it murder? After the inn loses power and a second death occurs, it's clear to Daisy that one among them is a killer. But who? The young, new, secretive maid? The antique-peddling pair of spinster sisters? Her not-so-welcome in-laws? The peculiar house-hunting couple? The supposedly stranded motorist? With no way to leave and no way to get help, Daisy's only contacts to the outside world are her best friend Beulah and the always charming (and equally troublesome) moonshiner, Rick Balsam. Trapped with a clever and seemingly undetectable murderer, she must unravel the truth before the party ends with her funeral. Angie’s comments: The motive and murder remained a mystery to me until the denouement. I can’t say it was the most believable plot, but it was interesting, especially the characters. Recommended for readers of cozy mysteries. Request this item
