Quiet Anchorage

QUIET ANCHORAGE has received 121 ratings/reviews from the Goodreads cozy mystery readers and fans. Quiet Anchorage, Virginia, is like any other sleepy small town until Jake Robbins is murdered, and his fiancee Megan Connors is arrested for it. The laidback, good ole boy Sheriff Roscoe Fox feels smugly confident he's got the right culprit, Megan Connors, locked up in his jail. It's a feather in his cap to help give his re-election campaign for town sheriff a boost. However, not all the townies believe Sheriff Fox has so niftily solved Jake's murder. Megan's feisty septuagenarian aunts, Isabel and Alma Trumbo, are angry with Sheriff Fox. They decide they better set aside their hobby of playing Scrabble and get busy as amateur sleuths. They are avid mystery fans with their large home library filled with every whodunit they've read, so they know the tricks of their craft. They befriend the twentysomething Sammi Jo Garner who takes no guff off anybody and becomes the sisters' assistant as they snoop away and unravel Jake's murder mystery. The debut series novel from Ed Lynskey, QUIET ANCHORAGE is a fun addition to the cozy mystery genre in the tradition of Agatha Christie, Jessica Fletcher, and Anne George.
