Produktbeschreibung

A young widow, Laura Kjelstad is the first woman mayor of Birch Bay, a small town in northern Minnesota. She easily won a blistering re-election, but her opponents dont rest easily. Lauras fundraising idea for her small town is generating lots of enthusiasm and more than expected participants. A gingerbread house event is being held at The Raspberry Point Inn owned by Lauras friends, Gary and Molly Berg. Proceeds will go to area non-profits. The designs are outstanding: the Old Depot, the local high school, Enger Tower; so many entries that the Inn is displaying them throughout the building.

One of the visitors to the event is Tony Harrington, the man known throughout the state as having the golden touch, owner of restaurants and real estate. Tony generates excitement wherever he goes and people gather around him in clusters. In the midst of the successful event, Tony Harrington is murdered while in his car near Birch Bay, gunshots to his head and back. One of the judges for the contest is found dead in her home in Superior, Wisconsin, gunshots to her head and back, just like Tony.

Although Laura easily won re-election, her opponents continue to deal in misinformation and outright lies. A friend has created a blogspot for her, but her rivals send out the Internet trolls. Laura can deal with the trolls, but murder in her midst is a whole different story. Laura discovers that Tony has kept a host of secrets and she begins to connect the dots only to discover that the connections are shocking revelations. Even when Laura becomes the damsel in distress, it is up to her to save herself and her future boss.

Autorenporträt

When Andie Peterson was asked how difficult the mayor's job is, she replied: "President Lyndon Johnson was having a press conference in the midst of the Vietnam War. His ratings were the lowest they had ever been. One of the reporters asked the President if anything could be worse than what he was experiencing at this dire time in United States history. President Johnson thought for a moment and said, 'Yes, I could have been a mayor.'" Andie served four terms as mayor of a small town in northern Minnesota so she knows first hand the unpredictable nature of elected office. She has served on numerous boards and commissions locally and nationally. She has published over two-hundred columns and articles. Among her many awards are: Minnesota teacher of the Year, Finalist for National Teacher of the Year, special awards from two Minnesota governors, the Tombola Award for her work in conservation, and three Minnesota School Bell Awards for editorial writing. Andie's previous books are "Northern Explosion, a Laura Kjelstad Mystery", "Murder for Mayor, a Laura Kjelstad Mystery", and "A Second Look, Native Americans in Children's Books." All the books are available through local bookstores and Internet sources.
