Murder in Hags Hollow
by Sam Dounis
Rowena McCluskey’s typical Hag’s Hollow life of lunches, crochet, and the Scottish Women’s Institute has been turned upside down by two murders that the local police have dismissed as an accident and suicide.
Given that the first victim was Rowena’s ex-husband, and the second was the man she had accused of murdering him, she appoints herself as lead detective of a gang that consists of one of her more directionless ex-pupils, and the childhood sweetheart who broke her heart.
If she can find enough evidence to convince the police to reopen the case, then perhaps she won’t just catch a killer; she might also have a second chance at love with the one who got away.
But murderers don’t want to get caught, so she’ll have to be discreet if she doesn’t want to be the third victim. Unfortunately, Rowena’s not known for her discretion…
