Book Description
Though educated as a painter, fifty-three-year-old Lee MacPhearson has lived her life coloring inside of the lines. The quintessential working mother of four, Lee has been the proper faculty wife—an ill-fitting role at best—while somehow managing to nurture her passion project, Mad Dog Gallery, into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most notable galleries. The casualty in all of this has been Lee’s marriage—and her sense of self. Having just delivered her last child to college, Lee is overwhelmed by her empty nest, and she’s left wondering what happened to the woman she once was. But she’s also giddy: finally, the opportunity to decide what she alone wants. Her estranged husband Brian, however, knows exactly what he wants: Lee and the life they once shared. He launches his campaign to reconcile before Lee even sets foot into her newly empty farmhouse, his apologies well-rehearsed. Ultimately, however, Barb Yakamura, Lee’s best friend and the brilliant and irreverent Artistic Director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, is the one who truly overflows with ideas about what Lee should do—including one that leads Lee, Brian, and the entire MacPhearson family to an ending they never expected.

Pages : 236
Book Description
No sooner has Peter Purkiss retired to the little market town of Bolt-in-the-Hole than a member of the local operatic society is found in his garden pond with a knife in her back. Being the obvious suspect, Peter sets out to prove his innocence by solving the crime himself. There seem to be plenty of clues - but which are really clues and which are mere coincidence? There is the distinctive red knife used by the killer; the toy dinosaur in the pond; the strange smell in the opera director's room. Or perhaps the solution is contained in the three enigmatic words on the scrap of paper clasped in the dead woman's hand. And who on earth is the figure in fedora and trench coat seen lurking about the streets of Bolt? The Diva in the Duck Pond is a classic whodunnit with a comic edge.
