MURDER IN THE VILLAGE PROPER

Katelyn Took came home to settle her grandmother’s estate, only to discover not only did Gram leave seventeen cats. But Ruth Beauregard, a childhood chum, had moved in. Ruth was confused, penniless, and abandoned by her in-laws because they believed she had murdered her husband five years before. Ruth had improved, physically and mentally, but she still lived under the stigma of the Beauregard family’s accusations. Katie believed Ruth was innocent and wanted her to be able to move on and be happy. But to make it so, she’d have to look for dirt under a lot of rocks, and it was looking like someone was going to throw those same rocks back. Hard. She could duck and weave, but could Katie find the truth without getting stoned to death?

“DonnaRae Menard welcomes us to Katelyn Took's home in small town Vermont where we smell cookies baking and homemade meals simmering. But all is far from peaceful as Katelyn solves the mystery of the vicious murder of a local businessman. Not until the well-crafted final pages do we guess the killer's identity. A memorable visit to rural New England where all is not as it appears.”
