Something New
After 28 years of writing the Melanie Travis canine mystery series, I am thrilled to debut my new Senior Sleuth series, coming in September and featuring spin-off character Peg Turnbull and her sister-in-law, Rose Donovan.
For years Melanie Travis has starred in her own mystery series, with Aunt Peg hovering--not altogether quietly--in the background. Eager to share her opinions and dispense advice, Peg has always grabbed center stage whenever she’s had the chance. Now she’ll have the opportunity to be totally in charge when she gets her own mystery to solve.
At long last, Peg will have everything her own way. Or will she?
Rose Donovan is Peg’s sister-in-law. She’s been a thorn in Peg’s side for forty years. But somehow, when Rose decides to join a local bridge club, she can’t think of anyone she’d rather have as her partner than Peg. Apart, these two women can be difficult. Together, they’re more trouble than a sack of cats. Perhaps it’s no surprise that when a member of the bridge club is murdered, Peg and Rose are named as suspects.
I had a great time writing PEG AND ROSE SOLVE A MURDER. Peg has been a voice inside my head for so long that I loved being able to finally let her out to do her own thing. I hope you’ll give her book a try. Otherwise Peg will never let you hear the end of it—and trust me, nobody wants that.
Happy reading!
