Lucy Stone in 'Turkey Day Murder'

The female-sleuth in this novel is named Lucy Stone. She is a familiar character to most all of us: she's a mom. We are moms, we've had a mom and/or we've known someone who is a mom. That's why many people can relate to Lucy. I sure can: the descriptions of shopping, cooking and cleaning sound very familiar!

Lucy lives in the small town of Tinker's Cove, Maine with her husband Bill and their four children: one boy and three girls. She also works as a part-time reporter for the town newspaper, called the Pennysaver. She writes small feature stories but has a nose for news and a knack for solving mysteries.

I picked up several Lucy Stone mysteries at a charity book-sale a couple of years ago. The books looked interesting and were only 50 cents each, and it was for a good cause. The book I'm reading now, called "Turkey Day Murder" is the 7th book in the series. I'm sure I'll gobble it right up!
