About the book
In Star Spangled Murder: A Lucy Stone Mystery by Leslie Meier, the 11th book in the holiday-themed cozy series, Lucy Stone, a reporter and sleuth, faces some unexpected challenges. Instead of just dealing with nudists at the pond and a lichen species disrupting the Fourth of July fireworks in Tinker's Cove, Lucy is thrown into an investigation after a neighbor is killed in a hit-and-run accident.
Similar to Murder She Wrote, the characters in the book do not provide many clues to the identity of the culprit. The resolution of the crime seems to rely on coincidence and a sudden confession. However, fans of the series will enjoy catching up with familiar faces from previous books.
Overall, fans of cozy mysteries will find Star Spangled Murder to be an entertaining read. The book was published in 2004 by Reed Business Information, with agent Meg Ruley from Jane Rotrosen Literary Agency representing the author.
