Sue Lehman does it again! “The Rat” is a fun mystery even the likes of Agatha Christie would love to chase.
Ruth was sick and frail, so it was really no surprise when they found her dead one morning. But when that nice young man died, and that little girl, and that nosy Detective Thomlinson started snooping around, it started to look like there might be a problem. In fact, it started to look a lot like murder.
You'd better keep your eyes peeled for mischief, just in case, because when there's a rat in the house, it'll keep making a mess until you catch it. The weapon? Rat poison. The murderer? It's anybody's guess.
A book signing will follow the reading.
Red Hat attendees will receive a FREE Gift from Wild About Books.
“Blindsided,” released January 2007, was Sue Lehman’s first book published. She now resides in Northern California. Lehman is the owner of Allegro Piano Service; she tunes and repairs pianos. She is currently working on her next book.
Wild About Books is located at 14290 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, next door to Lisa's clothing store.
