(2023)(A book in the Spring Hills Sleuth Mystery series)
A collection of stories by Martha Rogers
Three fun cozy mysteries to keep you turning the pages.
MULCH ADO ABOUT MURDER
When a grounds-keeper is murdered in the flower bed beside her cottage at a retirement center, Abigail Billings decides she wants to know who did it. She enlists the help of a retired lawyer Ben Martin and retired police homicide detective Harry Spenser as her partners in solving the crime. Clues pop up in the strangest places and helpful information comes from most unlikely sources. With their quirky friends at the center, the three Spring Hill sleuths lead the reader on a merry chase to solve the crime before the police can catch the culprit.
THE CASE OF THE MISSING PEARLS
When Abby’s friend, Ellie’s pearl earrings and necklace come up missing, Abby and Ben find themselves off on another sleuthing escapade with Harry, their retired detective friend. This time the whole population of Springhill Terrace is under suspicion, including all the employees. When the police arrest Maria, one of the assistants in the assisted living wing, Ben and Abby jump to her defense, positive she isn’t the thief. After proving her innocence, they set several traps to catch the thief, but each one fails. After Abby remembers another incident involving nursing home thefts, she comes up with a theory that leads the trio to a most unlikely and surprising answer.
PROBLEM WITH SILENCE
While Abby and her friends are practicing their sign language skills, they inadvertently overhear two men discussing a crime they are planning.
Once again Abigail Billings becomes involved in uncovering the scheme despite warnings from the local police, the FBI, and anonymous threats in the mail.
This time she may end up as the victim of a crime rather than the victor despite the efforts of her friends, Ben and Harry to protect her.
Join Abby and her friends as they seek to unravel a plot that is bigger than even they can imagine.
