DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmateur Sleuthing meets Patriotic Pride in The Famous DAR Murder Mystery. The search for the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier takes a bizarre turn when four members of the Old Orchard Fort chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution stumble on a modern-day corpse. When the local sheriff is dismissive, attributing the death to a drunken brawl, Helen Delaporte takes it upon herself to get to the truth. Suspicions arise from the victim's surprisingly well-manicured hands and a mysterious map found at the crime scene, fueling the determination of our feisty group, including a spirited octogenarian Harriet Bushrow. Their newfound cause evolves into a full-fledged investigation, but their thrill of receiving coveted publicity turns sour when the investigation takes a deadly turn. Set against the backdrop of picturesque Borderville, straddling the Virginia-Tennessee line, this captivating novel seamlessly blends mystery, humor, and suspense, narrated through the alternating voices of our colorful characters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLike other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the heroines. What incredible choices there are today in mystery series! This three-volume encyclopedia of women characters in the mystery novel is like a gigantic menu. Like a menu, the descriptions of the items that are provided are subjective. Volume 3 of Mystery Women as currently updated adds an additional 42 sleuths to the 500 plus who were covered in the initial Volume 3. These are more recently discovered sleuths who were introduced during the period from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 1999. This more than doubles the number of sleuths introduced in the 1980s (298 of whom were covered in Volume 2) and easily exceeded the 347 series (and some outstanding individuals) described in Volume 1, which covered a 130-year period from 1860-1979. It also includes updates on those individuals covered in the first edition; changes in status, short reviews of books published since the first edition through December 31, 2008.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPicking up from an unfinished manuscript of his late father, Graham Gordon Landrum, Robert Graham Landrum follows the further adventures of the ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution in the quiet little town of Borderville, Tennessee. When Mrs. Marguerite Claymore, a leading horticulturist, is found bludgeoned to death in her garden, the residents of Borderville are up in arms. A respected member of society noted for her many contributions, Mrs. Claymore seems to have been the least likely candidate for such a terrible crime. It appears that Mrs. Claymore interrupted a thief in the process of looting her house. A teenage boy stands accused of the crime, and his family enlists the spunky octogenarian sleuth Harriet Bushrow to clear his name. Harriet soon finds several people from Mrs. Claymore's past who may have had a reason to do away with the often cantankerous and dictatorial old woman. A string of unsolved robberies may also be connected. In The Garden Club Mystery, Robert Landrum pays a unique tribute to his father by co-creating the magic of the fictional town of Borderville and its much-loved characters.
