Notions of Murder

Mibs Monahan Mysteries Book 2 

 

NOTIONS OF MURDER  by Joan L. Kelly

The second installment of this Catholic cozy mystery series.  Returning to Havendale to help her octogenarian Aunt Bernie recover from a broken hip, Mibs has Monahan’s Sewing Shop running smoothly.  The energetic seamstress is pleased with the increasing business and very happy with the growing relationship between her and Detective Jace Trueblood.

 The busy but enjoyable days start coming apart at the seams when an assassin shoots one man and wounds another at the local community theater.   While working on costumes for an upcoming children’s play at the theater, Mibs becomes the only person who can identify the shooter.  When the killer tries to silence Mibs from testifying, she ends up in a coma, fighting for her life.

 For the first time in years, Jace kneels in prayer.   While the worried Detective  Trueblood relies on his team of detectives to find and apprehend the killer, he relies on the Lord to give him the strength to face the life-and-death situation threatening the woman he loves.

  Will the circumstances binding friends and family together end up in torn and tattered lives?  Or will the skill of the Havendale Police and the blessings of God tailor a happy ending for Mibs and Jace?
