In the second "Yooperwoman" book, Baby Boomer Molly Meagher (that's MaHAR, not Meeger, thank you ) juggles another family medical crisis, being pursued and attacked by villains who want something she has (and she has no idea what it is they're after), having her house burned to the ground, and her evolving relationship with FBI Agent Nate Walker. From her unscheduled swim with a corpse in Lake Superior to seeing her home destroyed, Molly uses her wit and experience to help tie it all together and solve another thrilling murder mystery in the sleepy Upper Peninsula.

SECOND EDITION2. Corrected formatting and other issues: Molly Meagher (that's MaHAR, not MEEger, thank you ) is a sixtyish "recovering lawyer" with a sense of adventure and a smart mouth. A little bit of Kinsey Millhone, a touch of Miss Marple and a LOT of Stephanie Plum, Molly has retreated to the North Woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to recover from a near-fatal attack by a client's angry ex-husband, where the peace and quiet and simple life helps her heal. Until she gets shot at, firebombed and pestered by a real estate salesman trying to buy her out. Her life is further complicated by a hunky FBI agent who looks at her as a prime suspect, as well as the surprise arrival of a sister she hasn't seen in decades, who begs to live with Molly while she dies of cancer and searches for the son she lost to social services. Molly wisecracks and knits her way through the investigation, being attacked, her growing attraction to the FBI guy, and dealing with her sister, as well as her issues about being gray-haired and what she prefers to call "plump," and her fear of intimacy. And learns that knitting needles make deadly weapons. Anyone who thinks that romance, adventure and angst are NOT reserved for young, slim beauties will enjoy this book.

Welcome to HEX HIGH SCHOOL Here students ask themselves: "When will the murders stop?" In Why Begins With W, the first book in The Time Capsule Murders trilogy, a Freshman, trying to solve the mystery of the hidden evil in the school, invited you on a journey into fear itself. In Dial Emma For Murder, the sequel, the journey took you beyond fear and into the reality of terror. Now, to solve the mystery, you must finally follow this Freshman down the hall and into the very heart of a pitiless wasteland known as HEX HIGH SCHOOL

Rupert Brown's pets, a pair of guinea pigs, a turtle, and a cockatiel, have started talking to him again, a sure sign that Miss Switch, a bona fide, no-fooling, real witch, is back again as Pepperdine Elementary School's enormously popular sixth-grade teacher This can only spell one thing: the wicked Saturna has never forgiven Rupert for blowing up her judgmental Computowitch to save Miss Switch from its idiotic verdict. So back she is, this time contriving a plot that employs villains so vile they can only be imagined between the covers of actual books. With no Computowitch to help her, will Saturna devise a way to make sure that Rupert and his unlucky classmates meet the same terrible ends as these vile villains?

If you've had enough of characters who are young, slim, and beautiful, then Molly Meagher (that's Ma-HAR, not Meeger) will make you smile. She's short, plump and senior, and trouble homes in on her like a heat-seeking missile. A "recovering" lawyer, wanna-be Yooper, EMT, and general smart aleck, Molly attracts villains like honey attracts flies. Fortunately, she has friends - also senior citizens both male and female -- who have her back, and her sort-of squeeze, retired FBI agent turned security consultant, to rub it for her. What with dodging assassins, planning for a knitting shop, caring for a dying sister, driving an ambulance, and doing the occasional court-appointed lawyering, Molly doesn't have time to think about the fact that she's closer to seventy than to sixty, or that she really ought to get rid of the doughnuts and cheesecake from years ago she's still carrying around her waist. Her indomitable spirit and wisecracking approach to life help her cope with a life that is anything but boring. Join Molly and the denizens of Michigan's Upper Peninsula as she juggles drama, adventure, nightmares, and grief, and like a Timex, keeps on ticking.
