An Ethel Thomas Detective Story
When someone, in a response to an approaching storm, said that it would be a good night for a murder, no one expected one to happen. But the residents of Hidden Harbor find themselves cut off from the mainland with electricity and telephones cut off and with one of their number dead in a bedroom at the Club House. Fortunately for the islanders, not one, but two women with experience in such matters and ties to the island are visiting when the storm hits; Abbie Abernathy a special investigator and Ethel Thomas, a spinster with a knack for solving murders. Together, they must discover who killed Henry Baldwin before the police arrive on the scene, no easy task when all of the prime suspects are old friends.Author Biography
