Black Cat #16
Murderers' Row
If there's one universally held truth in the greater Boston region, it is that the Yankees form the Evil Empire. The Yankees even go so far as to play the Imperial March during their home games. So, when six teens in Yankee uniforms stroll down Salem's streets, trouble can't be far behind.
Murderers' Row is the sixteenth entry in the Salem Massachusetts Mini Mystery series. The start of this series is The Lucky Cat. These short stories are being written and loaded one a day from October 1 through October 31, 2014. All author's proceeds from this series benefit battered women's shelters.
Lisa has lived in scenic Massachusetts since 1986, with only two brief forays out of state. One of Lisa’s ancestors was Ann Foster, who died during the Salem Witch Trials. Ann Foster was a grandmother by that time and sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and granddaughter. Ann had been born in England, came over in 1635, and was 75 by the time of the trials. Salem reached its dark depths during those trials from 1692-1693 - but since then has healed, blossomed, and shines. It now features the amazing Peabody Essex Museum, a plethora of gorgeous historic architecture, and a beautiful coastline. It's well worth a visit. If you can't go in person, take a virtual trip through Lisa's first-hand descriptions!

Kathy is out at the bar. It’s a gorgeous fall night, and everyone in town is out. They’re all enjoying the unseasonably warm weather.
Everyone has begun dressing up. But creatively. Definitely not in a basic way.
Pema and Jyoti are at the bar as well; so are Crystal and David.
They spot six teenaged boys in faded uniforms; the lads are dressed as the 1927 Yankees, a.k.a. “Murderers’ Row.”
But the Yankees aren’t as friendly as they first seem. So when one of their posse commits a crime, Bruce, David, and Lenny aid Kathy in apprehending the hooligans.
Lenny lets Kathy divine the identity of the thief; the guys are not wiling to give each other up.
The reasons for Billy’s offense are pure.
Lenny has a wonderful solution, and it’s cool to see him and Kathy growing closer.

Right feeling, wrong method
Another great little mini. Halloween is busy at the pub and when a party of teenage boys come in, she is dismayed to see one of them take a friend's wallet out of her bag. As she starts chasing the boys several of the men help and soon the 6 boys are corralled. However none of them want to give their real name or who stole the wallet. Can she use her powers of deduction to get the right boy? Even if they do, will they have to involve the police?

When Kathy catches a group of boys lifting a woman's wallet, she chases them down along side with Lenny to question them. When the boys are asked their names they all respond with infamous baseball players name and Lenny and Kathy can't help but smile. I laughed hard through that part. But there is always more to the story and we know Kathy will figure it out.

Villains in pinstripes
This is another quick and charming (not to mention endlessly optimistic) offering from Lisa Shea. so far I have purchased every short story in the series and will continue to do so.
