Elm Espionage

Morgan's heart has been ripped in two. Her beloved cat, Juliet, has passed over the rainbow bridge to a better world. One free of pain and suffering. Morgan's grief shadows her every thought. But when Joan calls, her voice tense with distress, Morgan knows she needs to put her personal suffering aside. There are others who need her. Others who rely on her keen powers of observation and her dogged determination to find the truth. To bring a killer to justice. * * * All author's proceeds of this series benefit battered women's shelters. Elm Espionage is the fifth novel in the award-winning Sutton Massachusetts Mystery series. All novels in the Sutton Massachusetts Mystery series are written in a boots-on-the-ground, chapter-a-day format. On December 1st, author Lisa Shea went to the Sutton common in the evening to absorb the actual sights and sounds of that visit. That was Chapter One. The same process held true for each subsequent day and location. By December 31st the book was laid out. Each book captures a moment in time; as a whole the series shows the progression of events, news, and nature in Sutton over the years. Lisa has lived in Sutton for over two decades and strives to craft stories which transport readers to her beautiful town. She offers a glimpse into Sutton's combination of centuries-old history and a modern, sliced-through-by-a-busy-highway existence. Lisa visits the actual locations mentioned in the story, experiences the atmosphere, and then infuses those rich colors, trilling bird-songs, and pungent fragrances into her story in a richly descriptive manner reminiscent of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Then toss in an ample seasoning of local culinary delights, and this is the world of the Sutton Massachusetts Mystery Series!
