Description

Fans of small-town cozy mysteries will cherish this beloved holiday novella from the collection Gingerbread Cookie Murder is made available for the first time as an e-book single!
 
Known for its cheerful staff and elaborate annual Easter Bonnet Contest, the Heritage House senior center regularly attracts new residents and positive press. But once the town’s retired librarian, Miss Julia Tilley, checks in to recover from an illness, Lucy sees a side of the facility that isn’t quite so perfect and pristine. And the place may soon be making headlines for different reasons following an unexplained disappearance . . .
 
Lucy can’t fathom how Agnes Neal could go missing from assisted living over a silly Easter bonnet contest, or why few seem concerned as signs point to foul play. A retired journalist with an independent mind, Agnes had an eye for details and little interest in conforming to catty cliques or rules set by her caretakers—traits that threatened some and angered others. Gathering clues as flimsy as a half-eaten milk chocolate bunny, Lucy must discover what happened to Agnes—before her own story becomes another springtime tragedy left unsolved.

    Another Lucy Stone cozy mystery! Another good read! Lucy once again finds herself entangled in a mystery. Doing a favor for a friend, which really wasn’t a favor since Ms. Tilley is also a long time friend, she goes to check on her at a posh retirement/ assisted living home, Heritage House. Afterwards she gets a call from Geri at the Courier newspaper office where she works as a reporter. Geri is frantic, her mother Agnes who is also a resident at Heritage House is missing! She was to pick her up for lunch, but no one knows where she is. Being not 24 hours the police cannot do anything, the staff at Heritage House says wait and see, Agnes was probably birdwatching and lost track of time. Geri is sure something is wrong and asked for Lucy’s help. There’s not much Lucy can do, but can’t help to check up on Agnes whereabouts. Amazing how the author comes up with so many mysteries! A real page turner. I did both read and listened to the audiobook book, enjoying both. The narrator was very good, the characters are wonderful and I can’t wait to read the next book. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #EasterBonnettMurder #LeslieMeier
