Looking for something to distract her, she pays a visit to her newest neighbor, Meredith Holmes, the proprietor of a kitschy bookstore called Murder by the Book. When Meredith confides in Caro concerning an on-going battle with the president of the Seneca Meadows Chamber of Commerce, Caro jumps at the chance to liven things up a bit. Vowing to give \"the dragon lady,\" Lucia Scarantelli, a piece of her mind, Caro takes Meredith downtown to confront the issue head-on.\u003cbr\u003eApparently someone else had the same idea. When Caro literally stumbles over the body of a very dead Lucia, she becomes determined to find out who did it—before hubby, Gregory, returns from a business trip to England. Teaming up with Meredith, Caro starts an investigation that uncovers a stolen goods ring which stretches from New York City to Seneca Meadows.\u003cbr\u003eWith just enough information to make her a threat to the bad guys, Caro begins to worry that this could be her last case...and possibly the end of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProverbial Crime Mysteries:\u003cbr\u003eA Bird in the Hand – book #1\u003cbr\u003eWhen the Cat's Away – book #2\u003cbr\u003eThe Pen is Mightier – short story in the \"Killer Beach Reads\" collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat people are saying about Dane McCaslin's books:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A BIRD IN THE HAND has delightful characters, a cozy setting, and a clever plot...what more could you want from a mystery?\"\u003cbr\u003e~ Gemma Halliday, New York Times bestselling mystery author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"For those of you who enjoy cozy mysteries, this one is a winner.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a great mystery with unexpected twists, turns and surprises.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"So good I absolutely couldn't put it down.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a delightful book to snuggle up with on a weekend!
