The Third Monona Quinn Mystery
Author: Marshall Cook
Everywhere Monona Quinn goes, people turn up dead—and Mo ends up confronting
their killers! First there was Charlie, owner of the town diner and Mo’s first friend after
moving to little Mitchell, Wisconsin (Murder over Easy). Then there was the parish priest
(Murder at Midnight). And now, even a trip to the family farm yields corpses.
Mo’s twin sister, Madison, is already under plenty of pressure taking care of their mother
and keeping the family farm going, with her husband serving in Iraq. So when Maddie’s
son (also one of twins) is arrested for drug possession, Mo drops everything—including
her 80-hour-a-week job as editor of the weekly Mitchell Doings—and drives down to the
farm, outside Summersend, Iowa, to help.
The simple possession charge turns to suspicion of murder when not one but two locals,
who are running a meth lab out of an abandoned barn outside town, are killed. Add to
the mix a troubled marriage—when she leaves home, Mo’s husband, Doug, tells her he
can’t promise he’ll still be there when she returns—and you have tons of trouble for
our amateur sleuth.
