{"product_id":"9781595945105","title":"Liquor Is Quicker: A Starfire Mystery","description":"1953, Hillville, Iowa - Ruth Waterman, the sister of the stuffy Reverend John Screiger, is found murdered in her kitchen at the Screiger manse on Walnut Street. Eudora Princeton was known to hold Ruth in contempt, although the quiet and kindly Ruth seemed an odd choice to be a target for that kind of anger. She was poisoned with belladonna, a substance grown right there in Hillville in a local florist's greenhouse.\u003cbr\u003eStarfire Detectives Guy and Caleb, along with the lazy sheriff, Fred Baylor, attempt to get at the truth, but there is a lot of interference; Jerry's Jewelry is robbed of all its valuables in a daring break-in on Thanksgiving Day. Then the weather turned bitterly cold. It all added up to a slowdown of the murder investigation. \u003cbr\u003eWhen another body fell in a very public display, all of Hillville demanded action. And then there were more - bodies, that is, dispatched by belladonna-spiked drinks. It certainly proves that liquor is quicker.","brand":"WingSpan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055848833264,"sku":"9781595945105","price":11.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781595945105_p0.jpg?v=1763815397","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781595945105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
