About this title

From the Publisher:

A couple of years ago while visiting my in-laws, I spotted a Corinne Holt Sawyer mystery, Murder by Owl Light, sitting on my mother-in-law's night stand. I mentioned to her that Ballantine publishes Ms. Sawyer's paperbacks -- and that I had commissioned the artwork that appears on the covers on these books. She said the cover had caught her eye (maybe she was being nice, but then again the illustration is really charming) and the copy on the back cover sealed the deal. She loves mysteries, and to have the characters in the story close to her age makes it even more enjoyable. After reading the book and totally enjoying it, my mother-in-law sent a letter to the author (a first for her), praising the book and the characters. And she got an appreciative letter back from Ms. Sawyer. Well, she's now read every Camden-sur-Mer book and always looks forward to the next one.

--Barbara Leff, Associate Art Director

From the Inside Flap:

writes with wit, taste, humor and wisdom, and her plotting is impeccable."
THE DROOD REVIEW OF MYSTERY
For those far-from-over-the-hill senior sleuths, Angela Benbow and Caledonia Wingate, the murder of the gardener at posh Camden-sur-Mer retirement complex is a delightful break in their rather dull routine. Unfortunately, a bad-tempered police officer warns the ladies to stick to knitting. Yet Angela and Caledonia refuse to be intimidated. They're off and running, bird-dogging a murderer as resourceful as themselves--and as shadowy as the owl light of dusk that conceals his deadly work....
