This novel is a mystery and well told. The main character is America Miles. The town is Hyacinth Missouri. America. We discover right away, the protagonist is a reporter on a Midwestern small town newspaper. Nothing really happens in Hyacinth until now! America's unfriendly editor dies of unnatural causes. Since he is not well liked, everyone at the newspaper is suspect. America investigates the story on her own. However there is danger! (I won't give away the surprising events or outcome.)The author, Majeske, offers up the mundane ins and outs of being a small time reporter with humor. It is really believable, the way the reporters interact. The main character is funny, and of course she has blind spots that always make the main character more interesting. She's a real person, with an everyday job. We as readers can see the trouble she's getting into. Will she get out? Solve the murder? You must read it to find out.Very good novel!Suspenseful!Kimberly
