Quiet Anchorage is a debut cozy mystery for Ed Lynskey in the tradition of Anne George's Southern Sisters series.
Join Isabel and Alma when they set off on their new life adventure as amateur sleuths that is as fun and challenging for them as it is for the reader.
This first book launches the humorous cozy mystery series that offers a clean read and a traditional whodunit. Everybody wishes they had a determined, loyal pair of aunts like Isabel and Alma Trumbo in their corner. Together, they follow the right clues to track down Jake’s actual killer and clear Megan’s name. Isabel and Alma also enlist the aid of their other local friends, the Three Musketeers, who are the gray-haired benchwarmers on Main Street, and Sammi Jo’s eccentric aunt Phyllis Garner. They befriend the twentysomething Sammi Jo Garner who takes no guff off anybody and becomes the sisters’s assistant as they snoop away and unravel Jake’s murder mystery.
They are avid mystery fans with their large home library filled with every whodunit they’ve read, so they know the tricks a clever killer might employ. They decide they better roll up their sleeves and get busy doing some shrewd detective work. Megan’s feisty septuagenarian aunts, Isabel and Alma Trumbo, are angry with Sheriff Fox. However, not all the townies believe Sheriff Fox has so niftily solved Jake’s murder.
It’s a feather in his cap to help give his re-election campaign for town sheriff a boost. The laidback, good old boy Sheriff Roscoe Fox feels smugly confident he’s got the right culprit, Megan Connors, locked up in his jail. Quiet Anchorage, Virginia, is like any other sleepy small town until Jake Robbins is murdered, and his fiancée Megan Connors is arrested for it.
