The Cranefly Orchid Murders
Synopsis
Ninety-two-year-old Martha's Vineyard native Victoria Trumbull knows more about the island, its people, and its history than anyone else living. So when Phoebe Eldridge sells her family land to a developer, the Conservation Trust enlists Victoria to search the land for an endangered plant, since the state prohibits bulldozing rare-plant habitats. Delighted to add another purpose to her daily walks, Victoria sets out with an eleven-year-old assistant and the "endangered" list in hand. Her first find, though, is the body of the developer's rather dubious attorney.
Victoria is a most unusual amateur detecctive at her advanced age. Join her as she spins out factual information about this beautiful New England island which she has accumulated in her 92 years living there. She uses a cane, must rest often, suffers from a sore toe which won't fit in her shoes, and confidently deals with residents and tourists of all ages combining knowledge from the past and present to solve crimes. Look for the rest of the books in the cozy Victoria Trumbull/Martha's Vineyard mystery series in the Bookshare collection including #1 Deadly Nightshade, #3 The Cemetery Yew, #4 Jack in the Pulpit, #5 The Paperwhite Narcissus and 7 more.
