About this ebook

 Abby Maguire, the Eden Rise Gazette's new reporter, needs to be first in with the news but Eden is a small town and, even on a bad day, nothing much happens. To make matters worse, the local café owner has shown a talent for beating her to anything resembling news. After witnessing an altercation between two Eden Thespian rivals, Abby hopes the annual Eden picnic fundraiser will be the perfect venue for her to witness some fireworks. Everyone has turned up, and everyone is dressed in 1920s costumes. Everyone including the dead body she finds. The police claim it was death by natural causes. No one in Eden believes this, and everyone expects Abby Maguire to get to the bottom of the unexpected death. Someone had gone to a lot of trouble to make the death look like an accident. When she's staring down the barrel of a gun, Abby knows she finally has her scoop. 
This Cozy Mystery is a clean read, with no graphic violence, sex, or strong language but full of fun, quirky dialogue and characters.
