Murder Under Blue Skies

Though you may find it surprising that Scott would want to write a murder mystery, it makes sense that his protagonist, Stanley Waters, would be a weatherman, albeit retired; and that his former show, "Hello, World!" would be "the number-one rated morning program in the whole world." You won't discover any inside stories about Scott's present or former "Today Show" associates here. But, thanks to his new literary associate, veteran mystery novelist Bill Crider, this breezy yarn manages to stir up a fair amount of suspense and humor. It involves Waters's attempt to open a bed-and-breakfast in the fictitious little town of Higgins, Virginia, a "comfort reading" locale not unlike the equally fictional burg of Pickax in Lillian Jackson Braun's bestsellers. And feline fans will be pleased that while Braun has given her hero only two Siamese, Scott and Crider have upped their cat count to three.
