Author: Lori A Gordon
Publisher: PublishAmerica
ISBN: 1-591-29516-5
Genre: Inspirational/Mystery
Anne Wyndham awakens to a fire destroying her home and hard-earned lawn
care business. Barely escaping from the third-story window of her house,
she drops down on the roof of her attached business and immediately
faints. Brock Cameron, unable to sleep, is wandering the streets in the
wee hours of the morning. Seeing Anne jump, he hurries to her rescue.
Things are not as they seem. Brock Cameron is living a lie. He came to
deliver bad news of Anne’s uncle’s apparent suicide. Manager of Uncle
James lumber business, he has a personal interest in the property. Brock
takes Anne home to her uncle’s estate so she can take care of his
business. But things are so confusing! Who are Stu and Betty Green and why
are they insisting that Anne should sell the lumber business to them? Why
does her uncle’s suicide feel so wrong? Could it be murder? And if so, who
did it? Why? Several attempts are made on Anne’s life as she tries to
unravel the mystery.
Murder In Maine is in
intriguing read. As the cooler days of autumn fill the air, this is the
book to curl up with in the porch swing while you enjoy a hot glass of
cider. Anne and Brock are well-developed characters that the reader will
quickly come to care about. While there are some unbelievable things
happening, most of the story is realistic. The head-hopping in the book
was a distraction. I found myself in the dog’s point of view a couple
times. Overall, Murder In Maine
was a satisfying read. I never guessed who did it until it was revealed in
the story. Pick it up now. While the price is a bit steep, mystery lovers
will not be disappointed.
