Diner Danger: Box Set of First Three Logland Mysteries
Despre această carte electronică
Tip a Hat to Murder. When the owner of the Bully Pulpit Diner and Grill decided to stop letting servers accept tips, he figured the raise he gave them would make up for it. Apparently not. Waiters Marti and Nick found his body on the diner floor and Chief Elizabeth Friedman has a bevy of suspects.
Final Cycle. Marti and Nick have inherited The Bully Pulpit Diner in Logland, Illinois, and their first Christmas season is not off to a good start. When Marti heads to the laundromat to retrieve clean linens, she finds the body of town grouch Louella Belle Simpson cycling through the dryer.
Final Operation. City Clerk Donald Dingle is a tightwad with the city budget and criticizes the police department to the point that Police Chief Elizabeth Friedman would love to see him retire. And she did mean retire, not expire. When he dies soon after having stents implanted, Medical Examiner Skelly is accused and people wonder if they're safe at the local hospital. Or did some of Dingle's meanness catch up with him?

Elaine L. Orr authors three mystery series and a mix of reflective fiction and nonfiction. The Jolie Gentil cozy mystery series has eleven books, and Behind the Walls was a finalist for the 2014 Chanticleer Mystery and Mayhem Awards. The three-book River's Edge series is set in Iowa, and Demise of a Devious Neighbor was a finalist for the same award in 2017.
The Logland series began with Tip a Hat to Murder in 2016, and features a small Illinois college town. Final Cycle and Final Operation are the other two books in the series.
She also writes plays and novellas, including the one-act play, Common Ground published in 2015. Her novella, Falling into Place, tells the story of a family managing the results of an Iowa father’s World War II experience with humor and grace. Another novella, Biding Time, was one of five finalists in the National Press Club's first fiction contest, in 1993. She is especially proud of In the Shadow of Light, which features two ten-year old girls in different circumstances, both affected by the U.S. policy of separating parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border. Gentle fiction about a difficult topic.
Elaine conducts presentations and teaches online classes on book publishing and other writing-related topics. Nonfiction includes Writing When Time is Scarce – and Getting the Work Published. Elaine grew up in Maryland and moved to the Midwest in 1994.
