The Pinocchio Murder (Kate Atherton Mysteries)

By Jo Cassie McRae

In this second novel of the Kate Atherton Mystery series, Kate again shows herself to be "an American, 21st-century Miss Marple" and not a lady one should ever underestimate! On a hot afternoon in August, Giselle Freeman is brutally attacked in her home workshop. The very next day, a stranger is found, murdered, in the same place. Who is the attacker, and will they strike again? Are the murderer and Giselle's attacker one and the same? And, as if all that weren't enough, there's the matter of that priceless emerald and diamond necklace. Wheaton Creek's fledgling, still under-staffed police force has its hands full as they attempt to solve the complex and engaging puzzle, making newly-appointed police chief Diego Vela unusually open to input from Giselle's best friend, Kate Atherton. Much as he hates to admit it, Vela knows Kate's skills, developed as an agent for a shadow intelligence agency of the U.S. government, make her a valuable asset. Fans of Martha Grimes, M.C. Beaton, or Richard Osman, or television series like Murder, She Wrote , Beyond Paradise , or Midsomer Murders will enjoy the Kate Atherton Mysteries.
