My New Book - Lethal Journal

Once a month, I post a short list of the library's newest books. From time to time, I write about other book-related matters. This time, I hope you'll forgive a brief commercial message. I'd like to tell you about my new book, released just a couple of weeks ago. Lethal Journal is a traditional mystery, the fifth book in my Jennie Connors/Riverview Manor series. It's available from Doylestown Bookshop and from the usual ebook sources.

Here's a short description:

Jennie Connors, Activities Director of Riverview Manor, has been promoted out of the job she loves. But there’s one thing she wants to do before she steps up to her new position: Jake Appleton, known among the other residents as Sour Appleton, needs to be integrated into the retirement community’s social life. It won’t be easy. 

Jake spends his days alone, staring out the window and mumbling that the world is full of crooks. Has he witnessed wrongdoing in the construction project going on outside his window? Or is he looking back over his own life? Jake’s not telling; he shares his thoughts only in his journal. 

Jennie doesn’t give up – and, finally, one morning Jake surprises her. He taps the journal, tells her “it’s all in here” and agrees to talk to her later that afternoon. But someone else gets there first. She finds Jake with a bullet in his head. The journal is gone−and Jennie is determined to find it and solve the puzzle of a lonely old man and restore peace of mind to the residents she loves. 

Happy reading, everyone.
