Description

Faberville bookstore manager Claire Malloy is ruminating within the state-of her love-life when she gets troubling information. Aged Miss Emily Parchester is up a tree. Chained to a classic walnut, supplying a thermos of tea and a weapon, the retired schoolteacher is able to drop with the ship, or instead the pine, before she'll allow another historical bit of Farberville be bulldozed in the name of "improvement," i.e., creator Anthony Armstrongis condominiums.With Neglect Parchester armed, and thus harmful, Claire worries this royal work may end unfortunately. When somebody murders Armstrong - regrettably, it will.
