Produktbeschreibung
Violet's friend claims self-defense - but is it murder? In small towns like Gyver, WWI veterans don't have it easy. In a nation just emerging from an economic depression, jobs are few and far between. Disability and shell shock are real, and battle fatigue is taking its toll on their bodies and souls. Three years after the end of the war, Violet Grave's friend, Hank Convoy, is one of these vets struggling to survive. With a grandmother and a disabled sister to support, he takes whatever odd jobs he can get. But like Violet, he's a product of Jazz Age youth culture, so most of what he earns goes toward cards and bootleg liquor. To add to his troubles, he's arrested on suspicion of murdering an army buddy found in the alleyway near his house. Violet begs her older sisters, Eve and Helena, to help prove Hank killed out of self-defense and not cold-blooded murder. Will the sisters solve this confusing case based on cigar ash, a missing revolver, and some missing jewelry? And what about the witness who left the marks of a strange pair of shoes in the dirt the night it happened? Catch this second installment of the series that keeps crime-solving all in the family just as the Roaring Twenties are getting underway! What early reviewers are saying: "It is an entertaining read." "I like the way the author develops the plot." ~~~ Don't forget to check out the other books in the Grave Sisters Mysteries!
Autorenporträt
Writing has been Tam May's voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past featuring sassy but sensitive women characters. Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries, which takes place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with her town's conventional ideas about women. She also has a new series, the Grave Sisters Mysteries, about three sisters who own a funeral home and help the county D.A. solve crimes in a 1920s small California town, set to release in 2025. In addition, she has written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it's cheaper. When she's not writing, she's devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music), concocting yummy plant-based dishes, and exploring her riverside town.
