Synopsis
The small Southern town of Borderville, so named for its location on the border of Virginia and Tennessee, has experienced its share of crime. Law and order have always prevailed, though, owing to the remarkable sleuthing efforts of Borderville’s social clubs, considerably aided by the members of the local DAR. First, the chapter’s ladies joined together to solve a very modern murder. Then the Rotary Club had to track the culprit responsible for shooting its regional governor, and the music club found itself trying to discover who poisoned a not-so-popular patron of the arts. Now, led by historical society president Helen Delaporte and ably assisted by octogenarian sleuth Harriet Bushrow, Borderville’s team of amateur detectives are on the case after a valuable painting left to the historical society is stolen. Mrs. Alberta Chamberlain had bequeathed a family heirloom portrait of Louis-Philippe by Charles Willson Peale to the historical society, but when Helen asks an expert to evaluate it, she discovers that the painting is a fake—the original Peale has been stolen. Indignant over this affront to the society, the members team up to locate the missing painting and nab the unfortunate thief. Narrated in turn by the various participants, this fourth collaboration of Borderville’s residents will charm and delight. For a southern flavored, small town mystery series rich in eccentric characters, enjoy all five of the Bordertown Mysteries in the Bookshare Library which are #1 The Famous DAR Murder Mystery, #2 The Rotary Club Murder Mystery, #3 The Sensational Music Club Mystery and #5 The Garden Club Mystery.
