Her Locked-Room Alibi

Nora Vale came home to sell her aunt's bookstore. Instead she wakes with a dead man in the study, a key in her pocket, and no memory of midnight. The Bainbridge Island police have their suspect. Nora has a crossword, a ferry stub and a family that has lied for fifty years. Every answer she fills in unearths a deeper betrayal, and the final clue is written in her aunt's handwriting. A small-town cozy mystery with a locked-room puzzle at its heart, for readers who like their tea cold and their alibis colder.
