- Synopsis
- Garth Ryland, editor of the Oakalla Reporter and honorary sheriffs deputy, finds homebound, four-hundred-pound Monroe Edmonds trapped in his own elevator and dead. Monroe had a penchant for flea markets and auctions, and his home was filled with a variety of rare and valuable items. So when a painting appears to be missing, Garth is inclined to believe that Monroe was the victim of a robbery gone awry. Not the type to take anything for granted, Garth pokes around and soon begins to find evidence of deceit, and when he begins to peel away the layers, he unleashes ghosts from the past... and more violence. Look for more books in the 15 book Garth Ryland series about a mild mannered, ever curious and ethical owner of a small town newspaper in Wisconsin who introduces us to the numerous rural and town people he interviews as he investigates situations he just can't ignore. Through his eyes we see the everyday lives of the people he thinks he knows and their deeper, hidden lives he could never have imagined. This series affectionately showcases life in midamerica, more about the hearts of people than violence, a cozy for all mystery readers. Look for other titles in the Bookshare collection including #3 The Glory Hound, #4 Hunting Ground, #7 One Man's Poison, #8 Cold Letter, #10 A Dragon Lives Forever #11 Killing Frost and #13 He Who Waits.
