When Al Martin, the editor of a satiric newspaper in Chautauqua, N.Y., reportedly dies of COVID-19, the local consensus is: good riddance. A sister suspects foul play. She wonders why Al was cremated in a hurry. The police stay out of it. So it takes reporter and relentless snoop Mimi Goldman to try to find which of Al's haters -- including an estranged wife, three bitter siblings, a secretive caregiver, old enemies and the many targets of Al's poison-pen sarcasm -- might really be a ruthless killer. The novel, No. 8 in a series called an "Agatha Christie for the test-message age," once again offers page-turning suspense. Wit. History. And the unforgettable setting of Chautauqua, a quirky, churchy, lakeside, cottage-filled summer arts community that launched an adult-education movement Teddy Roosevelt called "the most American thing in America."
Vengeance is Mine is the fifth book in Deb Pines' traditional whodunit Chautauqua Mysteries featuring the wise and witty reporter sleuth of a certain age Mimi Goldman. "An Agatha Christie for the text-message age," IndieReader calls the series. It's the Fourth of July in 2017 when this mystery starts with a bang. Maureen Donahue, a Black Lives Matter filmmaker and speaker at the historic Chautauqua Institution, is killed at a raucous holiday concert -- amid the orchestra's roar and audience's popping paper bags, to simulate cannon fire at the end of Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture." A stalker who followed Donahue to Chautauqua, a peaceful, leafy, cottage-filled, lakeside summer arts community, ...
Wicked Schemes is the ninth book in Deb Pines’ traditional whodunit Chautauqua Mysteries featuring the wise and witty reporter/grandma sleuth Mimi Goldman. “An Agatha Christie for the text-message age,” IndieReader calls the top-selling series. When a local online message-board post says, “A Murder is Announced,” all are welcome, on July 18, 2021, at 9:15 p.m. at Merrill Manor, Chautauqua is abuzz. Many show up expecting a harmless murder-mystery game. But then the lights go out. An intruder yells, “Stick ’em up.” Three shots are fired. And, by the door, lies . . . the body of the intruder, in costume. Was it a botched robbery? Or something else? In this page-turning riff on an Agatha Christie classic, the police, of course, are no help. So reporter and relentless snoop Mimi Goldman (aka Chautauqua’s Miss Marple) and her fearless 95-year-old sidekick Sylvia tackle their ninth and trickiest whodunit yet. Fans of Agatha Christie and Louise Penny and “Only Murders in the Building” will enjoy this intricately plotted whodunit that’s been called a “rollicking homage to the Queen of Mystery.”
