Where There's a Will

Is There a Dead Man in the House?

Peaches's father and his new wife, Azalea Marlowe, were in Tennessee to oversee the renovation of her family home. Peaches finds the excavation process fascinating--almost like watching the house's memory come to life. But some of the memories concerning the house are less than pleasant, as proven by the discovery of century-old buried bones. And Azalea's fall from a broken ladder hints that violence may visit this house again.

Kill the Messenger

DECEASED AUTHOR COMES BACK TO KILL THE MESSENGER Adultery, greed, blackmail, various disgruntled offspring, a few too many other women, a repressed secretary, and a jealous reporter. These are just a sampling of the motives and suspects in the murder of a philandering, outspoken publisher who is trying to keep his paper from the hands of eager buyers. With Kill the Messenger, the late Elizabeth Daniels Squire s classic-style mystery contains persistently far-flung evidence. The author, however, is on top of the story and keeps a reader guessing until the bitter end. A journalist and an avid mystery reader, Squire s experiences as a newspaper reporter provided the background for this, her first published mystery. Five Star Publications, Inc. is republishing this, along with Squire s complete Peaches Dann mystery sleuth series in the launching of their new Five Start Sleuth division. Squire was born into the newspaper business. Her grandfather, Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson, was a controversial editor and publisher. Although he was never murdered, he was often threatened. Her father, Jonathan Daniels, was press secretary for Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. Her husband C. B. Squire was a New York Times correspondent. After writing this initial mystery, she went on to write the soon to be re-released Peaches Dann mystery series, won the prestigious Agatha award, and was posthumously inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame.
