Marilyn's Musings

But I'm not going to tell you what is was. Besides the one I'm not going to tell,  the missing senior is based on something that happened to one of our neighbors, and as for the wild fire--unfortunately they pop up around here from time to time. I had fun involving the art students including Detective Milligan's daughter Beth and her best friend, Kayla, the mayor's daughter.  And the main plot thread is about a family secret that was kept for a very long time. The book came our near Halloween and was it ever fun to promote online and in person. If you go on Amazon, you'll see they have a deal for Bones in the Attic  and a couple of other books in the series on Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/Bones-Attic-Rocky-Bluff-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B08CBM56JF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=G7417P7NBQ1B&keywords=Bones+in+the+Attic+by+F.+M.+Meredith&qid=1656253360&s=books&sprefix=bones+in+the+attic+by+f.+m.+meredith%2Cstripbooks%2C960&sr=1-1 And of course you can always get any ...

Seldom Traveled  is one of my favorites in the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series. Here are the reasons why: The mystery itself becomes complicated because of a fugitive on the loose and a surprise ending--one that was a surprise to me too. I love the representation of the eagle on the cover and in the story. Because the area I live in often has wild fires, a wild fire becomes very important to the plot--and I am fortunate that one of my critique group members has been a fire fighter, and still works as a truck drive on fire crews and he gave me lots of much needed information. (After this book came out, we had a scary wildfire that came way too close to the little town I live in.) As always, I love writing about Tempe and finding out more about her strengths and weaknesses. If you haven't read it already, I do hope you'll try it in its newly edited form. Available as a trade paperback and for Kindle. Marilyn https://www.amazon.com/Seldom-Traveled-Tempe-Crabt...
