A reader came in to the library today and asked me to post the following on the blog (since I really liked the book, also, I was happy to!):

Million Dollar Baby by Amy Patricia Meade

Described in a review as a "vintage-style" this mystery is a delightful mix of humor, plays on words, and dead bodies. Marjorie McClelland, herself a young writer of mysteries, lives in a post-Prohibition small Connecticut town. Three hours drive from New York City, the village has attracted the attention of millionaire Creighton Ashcroft. Ashcroft, smitten by Marjorie, consents to edit her book in progress. Marjorie convinces him that, for inspiration, they need to help the local police solve a mystery or two. And the die is cast.

This reader is none too patiently awaiting the promised sequel Ghost of a Chance.
