Mrs. Quigley's Kidnapping - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Jean Sheldon began writing mysteries in her 50s. Her historical mystery "The Woman in the Wing" features women pilots (WASP) and factory workers (Rosie the Riveter) during WWII. "Seven Cities of Greed" involves a group of women of a 'certain age' on a quest for adventure and the mythical 'Seven Cities of Gold' in New Mexico. "Mrs. Quigley's Kidnapping" introduces Mattie Draper, a female detective in Chicago circa 1968, and "Flowers for Her Grave" is an old-fashioned whodunit in which two amateur sleuths in their early sixties, a gossip columnist and a gardener, solve a 20-year-old crime. The mystery "An Uncluttered Palette" is filled with art history, oil painting, forgery, and fun! "She Overheard Murder," introduced the characters of the 'Nic & Nora Mystery' series—mysteries solved by lesbian amateur detectives in post-World War II Chicago. The second book of the series, "Puzzled by the Clues," follows both the blossoming relationship of Nic and Nora and that of Anna and Allen. Characters at the heart of the Owen gang and those on the perimeter, offer humor, wisdom, and the belief that there is always hope. In 2015, Jean returned to her first love, and published a collection of poetry called "Persistent."
