Product Description
When cantankerous old Alfonse Sweetzer is found murdered in the art room of the Wyleyville Public Library, the list of suspects could include this whole Maine village. His rude and arrogant behavior has made him the least liked man in town. But topping the list of suspects is library director Jessie Tyler. Not only does she have the means and the opportunity, she has a powerful motive. Two years ago her husband was mowed down and killed by Sweetzer while the older man was driving his robin egg blue Cadillac. Sweetzer was given a slap on the wrist by the court, and the man continued his hazardous driving habits, while showing no remorse for his actions. Before the death of her husband, life had been close to perfect for Jessie who lives at Killdeer Farm, her dream house in the country. Inherited from her grandparents, the farm takes her back to better days when she shared it with family. Jessie can't let Sweetzer get the best of her even in his death. With her neighbor Cassie, the two attempt to solve the murder before Jessie or her son is hauled away in handcuffs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Marvelous Mystery!, January 24, 2009

By	Christine P. (Central Maine, USA) - See all my reviews

Bravo to Janet Morgan!! She has created a wonderful world of characters in her first Killdeer Farm mystery, and I am deeply anticipating the further adventures of Jessie and her friends. In Poetic Justice, the reader becomes ensconced with Jessie's determination to solve the mystery of Alfonse's killer, making the storyline a definite page-turner right up until the conclusion. This book is a must for anyone who is a big fan of mystery novels. But even if that particular genre is not normally your taste, this novel will make quick work of that!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, September 12, 2008

By	D. J. Lewis "book lady" (Prairie Land KS) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found Poetic Justice refreshingly charming, witty, and captivating. The protagonist is believable and down to earth. We all know the "antagonist" who leaves us feeling little compassion at his early demise. It was a relief to not encounter foul language or detailed gore at the violent crime scene. Morgan has proved that fiction can still be written to allow the reader's imagination to fill in the details. It was a great read and I can't wait for the next "Killdeer Farm" mystery. I feel as if the characters are already part of my family and I wait to learn more about "Ben" the resident ghost.
