Anchors Away and Murder: Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries #7

Ready for More in Reading

It's not hard to see the massive changes happening to our town, nor is it difficult to lay equal amounts of kudos and blame on those in power who have led us here. Namely, and I have no qualms naming names, our own mayor, Olivia Walker, and her never-flagging energetic promotion of Reading to the rest of the known world. I'm not the first to benefit from the clever and sometimes overzealous attempts she's made to draw in tourist dollars, and I'm sure I won't be the last. However, it's become increasingly apparent that those who reap the rewards of her consistent attention to the details of Reading's increasing popularity have joined the vanguard of those choosing to oppose her continuing guidance and position as our fearless leader.

Inexplicable? Or deception fed by years of control by one particular family who can't stand to see change come in such a dramatic way?
