What would you do if, out of the clear blue, someone gave you a Victorian house that was more than a hundred years old? The house came with a lot of warm memories and, although you wouldn’t know it at the time you inherited it, a lot of mysteries too? Would you accept the house if you knew you would be involved in uncovering secrets and unsolved murders?
Ned McNeil inherited such a house, Granger Mansion, and, immediately the problems began. The strange thing was, every nefarious happening that centered around the town of Ednalee or her new/old house, had occurred when the moon was full. Coincidence? Maybe. Still, it was strange.
The danger, in each case, came when Ned became too nosy for her own good. Yes, call it what you’d like…curiosity, an avid desire to see wrongs righted, an empathy for the underdog, but, getting right down to brass tacks, it was nosiness. It was something that Ned was born with and she couldn’t help it, so there you are!
Take for example, the Saunders farm house, near Ednalee. Murder had happened there, but it was fifty years ago, for goodness sake, and, although someone had been convicted of it in the minds of the good citizens of Ednalee, it was never truly solved, at least, not to Ned’s satisfaction. So, as you can imagine, when it came to her attention through simply doing her job of photographing the house for her boss, she wondered what truly happened on that dark and evil night more than five decades earlier.
And, that’s when the problems began. Discovering a mystery, to Ned, was like eating one buttered kernel of popcorn or one salted peanut–so there you have the fourth cozy that Ned McNeil, of Ednalee, Oklahoma, became involved in. Murder by Moonlight–will Ned’s taste for mysteries get her into more trouble than she can get out of this time?
