Frozen Assets

Molly Meagher (that’s MaHAR, not MEEger, thank you!) is a sixtyish “recovering lawyer” with a sense of adventure and a smart mouth. A little bit of Kinsey Millhone, a touch of Miss Marple and a LOT of Stephanie Plum, Molly has retreated to the North Woods of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to recover from a near-fatal attack by a client’s angry ex-husband, where the peace and quiet and simple life helps her heal. Until she gets shot at, firebombed and pestered by a real estate salesman trying to buy her out. Her life is further complicated by a hunky FBI agent who looks at her as a prime suspect, as well as the surprise arrival of a sister she hasn’t seen in decades, who begs to live with Molly while she dies of cancer and searches for the son she lost to social services. Molly wisecracks and knits her way through the investigation, being attacked, her growing attraction to the FBI guy, and dealing with her sister, as well as her issues about being gray-haired and what she prefers to call “plump,” and her fear of intimacy. And learns that knitting needles make deadly weapons. Anyone who thinks that romance, adventure and angst are NOT reserved for young, slim beauties will enjoy this book.
