GAME OVER AT GUILD HALL IBD

Sinopse

'ItâÇÖs game on when the longtime organizer of the annual Game Supper is murdered right in front of the diners. Readers who enjoy mysteries set in colorful rural settings will love Game Over at Guild Hall.' -Sue Ann Jaffarian, author of the Odelia Grey and Ghost of Granny Apples mysteriesIn rural Vermont, where hunting and trapping are a way of life, nothing is bigger than the annual wild game supper at Guild Hall. Stella canâÇÖt wait to sample the exotic dishes prepared by her neighbors, but when the longtime organizer of the supper falls dead, a victim of poisoning, StellaâÇÖs appetite-along with a roomful of suspects-vanishes. Then that same night someone ransacks the hallâÇÖs kitchen, presumably to destroy any evidence, and spots Stella snooping. Now she fears she may be the next target.áCertain the only way to save herself is to find the culprit, Stella digs into the victimâÇÖs life hoping to discover who might have wanted him dead. It turns out heâÇÖd made countless enemies over the years, as volunteers at the event were run ragged and hunters who wanted their food included were shunned. WhatâÇÖs more, Stella discovers the victim had unearthed a shameful and long-buried secret at the hall itself. With the list of possible suspects growing and her life in danger, Stella zeroes in on a clue that could break the case wide open-as long as she can stay out of the killerâÇÖs crosshairs . . . ááPraise for the Books of Amy Patricia Meade:á'Quaint characters and settings abound in this outing by New Yorker-turned-Vermonter Amy Patricia Meade.' -Mystery Sceneá'MeadeâÇÖs debut will strike a chord with fanciers of Dorothy SayersâÇÖs Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane.' -Publishers Weeklyá'Meade successfully segues from her historicals (Black Moonlight) to this snappy yet traditional contemporary.
