A pudgy homemaker and housewife, Emory Crawford blossoms into her true detective self in Pearl R. Meaker’s cozy mystery series, The Emory Crawford Mysteries.
Emory emerges as an inquisitive amateur detective in the first book of this series, The Devil’s Music. As in any small town, everybody knows everybody else’s business, and Emory doesn’t hesitate in making it her own business when an acclaimed scholar and musician’s body is found, murdered, on the Twombly College campus. Emory’s husband, Dr. Jebbin Crawford, teaches chemistry and forensics at the college, and she is determined to find the culprit who is threatening the safety of the town of Twombly and the comfy life that she has created with Jebbin.
The Devil’s Music made its debut through Promontory Press in May 2015. Since then, Pearl R. Meaker has already completed the sequel, The Devil’s Hook, The Emory Crawford Mysteries book two, which is rapidly approaching its launch and due to hit shelves in just one month, on September 15th, 2015.
Emory’s detective skills are put to the test again in The Devil’s Hook, when cryptic red items show up in Twombly College’s dorms. Nothing is stolen, but new items mysteriously appear. Meanwhile, Jairus Twombly’s intuitive gift is faltering and his new personal assistant is encroaching on his wife Amy’s territory. Emory decides to take matters into her own hands when one of her students, who has been receiving the red objects, goes missing, and Jairus’s assistant is found with Amy’s Bloodwood crochet hook in her eye. Dead. This time, Emory has the help of the Twomblys’ bright young daughter, Madison, assisting her in keeping hot on the trail of who is responsible for the red items, kidnapping Emory’s student, and murdering Jairus’s assistant.
Pearl R. Meaker has many adventures planned to come for Emory, with the third book in the series due for its release in Fall 2016. Meaker is a new, undiscovered author breaking into the cozy mystery scene, and she has already impressed bookstores and readers alike with her ability to paint the perfect scenes for the murder mysteries to unfold, and craft loveable characters akin to the ever popular Miss Marple.
If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to pick up your copy of The Devil’s Music and pre-order The Devil’s Hook.
New Jerusalem News is the lead-off book in a new series of novels called The Dominick Chronicles, set in contemporary times in various parts of the US. New Jerusalem News is set in New England.
Dominick is always just passing through. He is a professional house guest of the well-to-do, who follows the sun from resort to resort. If he was once searching for something, he long ago disavowed it. His freedom depends on his detachment, and he tries to maintain that. In each of his inadvertent adventures Dominick’s status as the outsider leads to his being a suspect for crimes he did not commit. These are the obverse of police procedurals. They are perp procedurals, in which the unjustly accused must establish his innocence in order to escape and move on.
Dominick is an observer, an historian, a reluctant participant; but his nomad’s life as a perpetual guest insures that what’s next will always be different.
The one-volume complete Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes still sits in the pile of books on the back of my desk.
Probably Casablanca.
The ability to read other people’s thoughts, of course. I am a novelist.
At my desk and in the kitchen.
My laptop and a printer/scanner, a pile of books and a pile of files, a Samoan-English dictionary, two notebooks and a stash of pens, and this carving from Palau, my wooden muse:
Island Books, 575 E. Main Rd., Middletown, RI
What I do is me; for this I came.
John Enright is the author of the new book New Jerusalem News.
