Imogene Museum Mystery #8

by Jerusha Jones

Sure, Sockeye County is rural—even scenically desolate in places. Which means buried crimes have the potential to go undiscovered for long periods of time. Then they come to light. They always come to light. Sheriff Marge is here to make sure of that. But when an intriguing history mystery is paired with current disappearances of a similar nature, Sheriff Marge taps all her community resources, including the research talents of Meredith Sills, curator of the eclectic Imogene Museum, to nail the perpetrators. Because when embezzlement turns to death—and people get desperate—there’s no time to be lost.

About the author

Jerusha Jones lives in a small town in the west end of the Columbia River Gorge. When she grows up, she fully intends to be a feisty old lady. In the meantime, she regularly maxes out her library's lending limit, has happily declared a truce with the clover in the lawn, but is fanatical about sealing up cracks in her old house, armed with a caulking gun. Due to the number of gaps she has yet to locate, however, she has also perfected her big spider shriek.

Jerusha loves wool socks, Pink Lady apples with crunchy peanut butter, scenery of breathtaking grandeur, and weather just cool enough to require a sweater, all of which are plentiful in the Pacific Northwest. She is eternally grateful to have escaped the corporate world with its relentless, mind-numbing meetings and now writes (or doodles or fantasizes or cogitates or stares out the window or whatever you want to call it) full time.

Another satisfying read

I have yet to read a book by Jerusha Jones that I don’t enjoy. I downloaded this the day it was released and finished it by bedtime.

I enjoy the intertwined storylines and the characters, Her characters feel and act like people you might know. Her descriptions of the Columbia River and Washington State make me want to plan a trip to see what she describes.

I highly recommend all her books.

A fun ride as always

I really enjoy these mysteries. They are reliably a mix of interesting characters, multiple capers and insight into human nature. Warning to all new mothers: this book does contain a situation where a baby is in danger. I have to say, I didn’t love that as a new mom. Was hard for me to read and I kinda wish it hadn’t been part of the story. The culprit of the danger didn’t need that going against them to make them despicable. They already were.

Great story!!

She’s done it again! Just the right mix of mystery, scenery, drama and family/friends love. Can’t wait until her next book.
