Synopsis

Life is getting strange in Twombly, Illinois.

Jairus Twombly's familial intuition is faltering and his new personal assistant seems to be trying to replace his wife, Amy.

On the Twombly College campus, someone is breaking into the dorm rooms of female students leaving things instead of taking things: red colored objects including a red golf ball, a red ribbon and a tiny red stuffed dog.

When a recipient of some of the red objects goes missing and is returned after being told, "You're not her", and the personal assistant turns up dead with Amy Twombly's elegant Bloodwood crochet hook in her eye, things heat up for Emory Crawford and her chemist and forensic scientist husband, Dr. Jebbin Crawford.

Emory, along with the Twombly's Nancy Drew-like daughter, Madison, once more turns to her amateur detective skills and intuition to solve the mysteries.

About this title

About the Author

Pearl R. Meaker is an upper-middle-aged, short, pudgy homemaker, mother, and grandmother who in 2002 decided to be a writer. She grew up in Dearborn, MI., and has lived most of her life in several states across the American Midwest. She and her husband like small-ish towns more than huge cities. Over the years she's worked different jobs in the various places she has lived, but always came back to being at home with her family. She excels in creative fields, such as writing, music, drama, and art, with hobbies including knitting, crochet, calligraphy, origami, needlepoint, embroidery, counted cross-stitch, very amateur bluegrass fiddling, and both foil and sabre fencing.
