Claws for Concern

Beschreibung

Maddie Sparks, senior amateur sleuth, sets aside her writing when her son, a defense attorney, is accused of murdering one of his clients, a high school friend and the woman the authorities believe murdered her estranged husband. Although Maddie knows her son is innocent, she also suspects he is hiding something. Before she can confront him, he disappears during the first snowstorm of the season. When he reappears, he is shocked to discover his house has been torched. He confesses he and the murdered woman had been seeing each other. Did the client kill her husband to be with Maddie's son? To make sense of the murders and the arson, Maddie takes a close look at her son's friends from high school. Do people change over time, or do they carry their past grievances into the present? In getting to know her son's friends, she finds that teenage passion can sometimes lead to murder. It's simply a matter of Maddie determining which friend is hiding a killer's face.

Autor

Cows, Lesley learned growing up on a farm, have a twisted sense of humor. They chased her when she herded them in for milking, and one ate the lovely red mitten her grandmother knitted for her. Determining that agriculture wasn't a good career choice, instead she uses her country roots and her training as a psychologist to concoct stories designed to make people laugh in the face of murder. Unusual protagonists appear in many of Lesley's works including Desdemona the crime fighting potbellied pig, a hobo turned county sheriff and Lesley's zany back-home-on-the-farm relatives (The Killer Wore Cranberry, all six anthologies).She is the author of several cozy mystery series (The Eve Appel Mysteries, Laura Murphy Mysteries, The Big Lake Murder Mysteries and her newest from Camel Press, Maddie Sparks Mysteries, featuring a senior sleuth and her rescue cat). Her cozy mysteries have won several Readers' Favorite Awards and a short story Sleuthfest Award.
