There is an excellent tv series called Murder in a Small Town that is based on a book series by the same title by L.R. Wright. It is set on the Sunshine Coast of B.C. so the scenery is very familiar. :-) The Suspect is the first of the Alberg & Cassandra mysteries in both book form and on tv. There are a few subtle changes, but mostly the show sticks to the books. An older resident of the small town finds a body when he goes to visit a friend, he is the one to report the crime. Follow along as Karl and Cassandra (and their budding new relationship) as they figure things out. Why would someone murder an 85 year old?

Leta is looking forward to the conference of crime-loving readers, and not just because her boyfriend (a long distance relationship until recently) will be there. She meets up with good friends, the panels and talks are fun ... until a body if found. There was an altercation earlier, could the murderer be that easy to find? That would actually be nice as that person is all too flirty and pushy with the men attending, including Leta's boyfriend. Then that person is also found dead. Leta and the Little Old Ladies' Detective Agency get to work to solve just what is going on. Pets, Pens, & Murder is the seventh book in the Dickens & Christie Mystery series by Kathy Manos Penn.
