Delivering books to the housebound residents of the Thumb Islands, just a short boat ride from the town of Briar Creek, library director Lindsey Norris has befriended two elderly brothers, Stewart and Peter Rosen. She enjoys visiting them in their treasure-filled, ramshackle Victorian on Star Island until she discovers that Peter has been killed and Stewart is missing. Now she’s determined to solve a murder and find Stewart before he suffers his brother’s fate.
About the Author:
Jenn McKinlay took her first decoupage class when she was twelve years old. Since then, cutting and pasting have become a way of life. With two small children at home, she finds decoupage a fun craft as well as a very handy tool, especially when used to cover up doodles made in permanent marker on otherwise lovely furniture. And yes, they know her by name at her local Michael’s Craft Store. She is the author of several series under the name Jennifer McKinlay and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her musician husband Chris, their two sons, two cats, one dog and one fish.
Review of A Likely Story
Review (4.5 Stars): Loved A Likely Story!!! Lindsey finds herself in the middle of another mystery when she tries to drop some books off to one of her recluse patrons and finds the dead body of Peter Rosen on his island. With his brother missing, Lindsey must investigate the clues and find a killer before it is too late.
Reading Ms. McKinlay’s books is like spending time with old friends. A Likely Story is charming, well-written whodunnit that is perfect for those cold winter nights. I love Lindsey and all the secondary characters in this series and I can’t get enough of this series. Looking forward to the next book in the series to see what trouble Lindsey finds herself in next.
