The Sodden Spectators Mystery novelist Cathryn Harcourt never met a mystery she couldn't solve...in the pages of her own books. Faced with a real-life puzzle on which hangs the happiness of two young lovers, can she find a solution before they're forced apart? And when the stakes rise higher than anyone imagined, can she outsmart a wily, unsuspected murderer? Join Cathryn as she travels from Virginia to Kentucky to Brazil on the tracks of a clever killer. A Simple Glass of Water. Who knew a simple glass of water could hold so much? Or that it could change from half empty to half-full in the course of a day? It carried the seeds of Ruben's destruction, turned his world upside down, and drowned him in despair. Might it also offer the key to his salvation? Blessings and Curses on a Calico Cat. If curiosity killed the cat, it sat behind the wheel of a white Chrysler LeBaron the day Mrs. Friskers died. A young woman, raised on a diet of superstition, struggles to chop away the apron strings and prove her worth to a persnickety, white-gloved mama. The loss of her mouse-killing cat makes the battle twice as hard. And twice as lonely. A humorous and heart-warming story of a young woman learning to stand on her own.
