Peculiarities at the Picnic
August 1931 Deloris Markham finds herself embroiled in another murder mystery, but this time it is at her hometown of Jameson, Missouri and it happened fourteen years earlier. Interviewing the good people of Jameson isn’t as easy as she thought it would be either, but even she wasn’t ready for the twist at the end.
Miss Markham Mysteries has a little truth and a lot of fiction. Can you tell the difference?
