Meddling in Murder

Summary: Murders in Maine
Review: The narrator, a resident of a small town in Maine, comes upon the body of a brutally murdered young woman and resolves to find the killer. Drawing upon her experience, her network of friends, and more than a bit of luck, she succeeds -- but not before another murder takes place and she herself is on the point of becoming the next victim.

Howell captures the local atmosphere admirably. The roster of suspects grows, as does the suspense, and the denoument will surprise you. Hard to put this book down!
