Emma Chizzit and the Queen Anne Killer pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Most people wouldn t consider the salvage
business a proper occupation for a
woman of a certain age, especially a one-woman
crew working out of a pickup truck and a garage
apartment. But then, Emma Chizzit doesn t
much care what most people think. She likes the
work and the way it keeps her active and inde-
pendent. She s made a good life for herself with-
out much to worry about, except maybe
drumming up more business and keeping her
friend Frannie s head on straight.
Then, while cleaning out an old Queen Anne
house that s scheduled for demolition, Emma
finds a mummifiedbaby and a hand-carved cra-
dle, and the worries descend in full force. Before
she can lift a finger to call a halt--or even decide
whether or not that s what she wants to do
Emma is up to her ears in brake-shrieking car
chases, shady and sinister characters with shady
and sinister motives, an overeager police officer
with an unrequited crush on her, and a twenty-
year-old mystery that is almost as mummified as
the poor little creature from the Queen Anne.
The sensible part of Emma would just as soon
walk away and let somebody else figure out
what s going on here, but people she cares about are in danger of getting hurt. That means a
plunge straight into the mess with both feet for
Emma, whether she likes it or not, and some
amateur sleuthing to get to the Queen Anne
killer before the Queen Anne killer gets to her.
MARY BOWEN HALL plans many more
adventures for Emma Chizzit,who may be near
Miss Marple s age but who is definitely not into
knitting and sitting in front of the fire. Ms. Hall
lives in Santa Rosa, California.
