Two Ways Home

Book Cover & Preview Text
With her door safely shut, Janice switched on the light. Her comrades, although shaken, didn’t seem as affected by the ruckus as she, perhaps because each carried a weapon. Viv had a death grip on an old umbrella, RoseAnn a vase, and Milly a very tiny 22 caliber pistol, which she quickly slipped into the pocket of her robe. “I know, I know,” she said. “It’s against the rules, but after Dr. Carpenter was murdered, I realized how completely helpless we all were, so I picked up this little piece of weaponry in a pawn shop.” “I had no idea you knew how to shoot,” Janice commented. “About like a dog knows how to bite, just point and pull the trigger.” “It’s very dangerous.” “Not if I don’t point it at myself,” she replied glibly.

About the Book
The old MacNeill mansion, located in the heart of thoroughbred horse country outside Englishton, Kentucky, has recently been converted to a senior citizens home. Janice Harmon, a resident of GlenMary House, is happy that life has finally returned back to normal after the murder of John Carpenter. But what Janice does not know is that tragedy is about to strike again. When fellow resident Annabel Douglas passes away, the last thing Janice suspects is that she’s been murdered. But when the sheriff tells her that Annabel was drugged and asphyxiated, she soon realizes they are all suspects. It seems impossible that one of the senior citizens could have committed the crime, and even more unlikely that her young friend and mansion inheritress, Emily Carpenter, is guilty. Yet, they all had a motive—and an opportunity. As the list of suspects grows to include Winifred Peale, her best friend and mistress of Carrie Creek Farm, Janice must rely on Chief Inspector Simon Hollingsworth to help her come up with the answer before GlenMary House is forced to close its doors forever. In this gripping tale, an amateur sleuth must solve yet another complex mystery after a fellow resident in her senior citizen home is murdered.
