Descrição

"Everywhere Monona Quinn goes, people turn up dead-and Mo ends up confronting their killers! First there was Charlie, owner of the town diner and Mo's first friend after moving to little Mitchell, Wisconsin (Murder over Easy). Then there was the parish priest (Murder at Midnight).And now, even a trip to the family farm yields corpses. Mo's twin sister, Madison, is already under plenty of pressure taking care of her mother and keeping the family farm going, with her husband serving in Iraq. So when her son (also one of twins) is arrested for drug possession, Mo drops everything-including her 80-hour-a-week job as editor of the weekly Mitchell Doings-and drives down to the farm, outside Summersend, Iowa, to help. The simple possession charge turns to suspicion of murder when not one but two locals, who are running a meth lab out of an abandoned barn outside town, are killed. Add to the mix a troubled marriage-when she leaves home, Mo's husband, Doug, tells her he can't promise he'll still be there when she returns-and you have tons of trouble for our amateur sleuth."

Sobre o Livro

Monona Quinn chega à fazenda da família fora de Summersend, Iowa, para ajudar a irmã Madison quando o sobrinho, também gêmeo, é preso por posse de drogas; a acusação se complica quando dois locais envolvidos em um laboratório de metanfetamina são mortos.

No retorno ao contexto rural aparecem tensões familiares e um casamento fragilizado, enquanto Mo abandona temporariamente seu trabalho como editora do semanário de Mitchell para investigar os homicídios; os locais de Mitchell, Wisconsin, e a fazenda formam o pano de fundo concreto da investigação.

A narrativa explora a dinâmica entre gêmeos, cuidados familiares e vigilância comunitária, com a protagonista atuando como detetive amadora diante de suspeitas e conflitos pessoais.
