“Leslie Meier has created a town I’d like to live in and a sleuth I’d love to meet.”
–Jill Churchill
************************************************************************************
Ever since local developer Fred Stanton and his wife, Mimi, built five modular homes next door to Lucy Stone’s farmhouse, life just hasn’t been the same. With Mimi complaining about everything from the state of Lucy’s lawn to another neighbor’s lovable dog, quaint Tinker’s Cove, Maine, is now entangled in cul-de-sac politics and backstabbing. And when Mimi doesn’t show up for her shift at The Hat and Mitten Fund bake sale, the scent of burnt sugar leads Lucy to a shocking discovery: Mimi, face down on her kitchen floor—with a knife in her back.
While the police start their investigation, Lucy gets busy writing up the murder for the local Pennysaver—and following a few leads of her own. Lucy knows the women in her neighborhood didn’t like Mimi, but they certainly didn’t want her dead…right?
“I like Lucy Stone a lot, and so will readers.”
–Carolyn Hart

I just read Bake Sale Murder that I downloaded from the Kindle store. It was my first of Leslie Meier book. I will be looking for more of your books in my local library. It was a good read.
I did have one question, was Father Keenan just confused, about the ages of Mimi and her brother. He said that Mimi was the oldest and took care of her younger brother, but Lucy and the newspaper article indicate he was older by two years. The discrepancy wasn’t addressed and I was curious about it.
