BOOK TOUR
When Courtney’s friend Wanda gets into a ponytail-pulling wrestling match in public with a nasty local art critic, Courtney stops the fight with the help of a garden hose. But Lana Lamar has a talent for escalating things and creating tension, which she succeeds in doing by threatening a lawsuit, getting into yet another scuffle—in the midst of an elegant fundraiser, no less—and lobbing insults around like pickleballs.
Next thing Courtney knows, Lana is on the floor, stabbed with a decorative letter opener from one of Courtney's fairy gardens, and Wanda is standing by asking “What have I done?” But the answer may not be as obvious as it seems, since Wanda is prone to sleepwalking and appears to be in a daze. Could she have risen from her nap and committed murder while unconscious? Or is the guilty party someone else Lana’s ticked off, like her long-suffering husband? To find out, Courtney will have to dig up some dirt.
Every
time I read a book by author Daryl Wood Gerber, I’m reminded why she is a
favorite writer of mine. This second book in her Fairy Garden Mysteries is a
wonderful example of why.
Reading,
A GLIMMER OF A CLUE in one setting wasn’t my plan for the day. However, a
couple of chapters in, I knew I wouldn’t put it down until the last page. It
was a well plotted mystery, within a magical tale.
There
were suspects and motives galore. A true puzzler, there were so many ways this story
could have gone! My thoughts and guesses were running the spectrum of possibilities
to the point of being dizzying. Indeed, A GLIMMER OF A CLUE was so meticulously
plotted, Sherlock Holmes himself would have been scratching his head.
If you’re looking for a book to spend a summer day with, you can’t go wrong with A GLIMMER OF A CLUE.
