Official synopsis Publisher
What a read! Set in dusty small town America in the 1950’s, this unique murder mystery begins with all the “family values” front and center. But then the veneer begins to peel off, exposing the inner lives of utterly memorable characters who run the gamut from psychotic to genuinely loving. In two words, it’s nostalgic and creepy. Unlike most mysteries, we know who did it, but are wrapped up in the character’s lives all the more because they don’t know what we know – and are in danger. A total winner! Susan Stewart Potter, JOA Productions

Just as in Murder at the Mane Tamers, Nancy’s characters are intriguing, distinctive, and often disturbing. Barry Phegan, Ph.D., author.
