Wheres Laura A Tuesday Table L

Everyone who frequented the Oakwood retirement community’s dining room knew that Tuesday evenings meant the six ladies who always sat at their special table would liven things up with their laughter and conversation. They called them the Tuesday Table Ladies but on one particular Tuesday, something seemed very wrong. One of the six was missing and the five at dinner that evening appeared unusually subdued.

“Where’s Laura?” begins when Laura Lambert is missing from her regular weekly dinner engagement, causing her five anxious friends to fear the worst. Set in an historic neighborhood near the Chesapeake Bay, the situation grows from a hesitant check of Laura’s apartment to a complex and menacing mystery as Robert Symonds, a former foreign service officer, is drawn in to assist the Tuesday Table Ladies.

Octavia Long is the pseudonym for eight women who dine together every Tuesday at Longwood at Oakmont, a community of retirees in western Pennsylvania.

One evening, one of them failed to appear for dinner. “Where’s Muriel? Could something have happened to her?” After a search, she was found. That was the inspiration for the idea of a mystery entitled Where’s Laura? written by the Tuesday Table Ladies.
