Caught in the Snare
(2024)(Book 11 in the Mimi Goldman Chautauqua Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Deb Pines
Caught in the Snare is the eleventh book in Deb Pines' traditional whodunit Chautauqua Mysteries featuring the wise and witty reporter sleuth of a certain age Mimi Goldman.
"An Agatha Christie for the text-message age," IndieReader calls the series.
When Velma White, a tyrannical landlady, now 74 and shaky on her feet, is found dead at the bottom of the steep, slippery stairs of her Chautauqua home, it looks like an accident.
But was it?
Velma lived in a "house of vipers," says her best friend. Among them: a cash-strapped daughter, a shady teacher, a bullied home health aide and a bird lover whose feathers Velma ruffled.
Reporter and relentless snoop Mimi Goldman, luckily, is on the case. Aided by sidekick Sylvia and Sylvias granddog Gerard, they dig into Velma's money, men and murky past to try to find a killer lurking among Chautauquas high-minded lectures and historic cottages before they, too, get Caught in the Snare.
Fans of Agatha Christie, Louise Penny, Elly Griffiths, Richard Osman and Only Murders in the Building will enjoy the latest twist-filled mystery in this popular series.
