Bitter Pills and Deadly Potions Raymona Marie Anderson
November 2019
After nineteen years and a career in Hollywood, Maggie Simpson sheds her stage name and returns to her home town to reconcile with her sister and uncover the truth about why she abandoned Maggie with the traveling medicine show in 1946.
Her quest stirs guilty secrets, and when a favorite son of the town is murdered, she becomes a suspect. Townspeople roiled by President Kennedy's recent assassination threaten vigilante justice. Only a deputy who seeks anonymity beyond the city limits believes in her innocence, but he fears publicity she might bring.
Can she escape yet another predator and prove her innocence?
Between The Pages
A who-done-it book that leaves you guessing until the very end. It took me a chapter or two to get into the story, but it soon grabs the attention and holds it. The main characters, Maggie and Guy are well-developed and there’s a good cast of secondary characters. The plot moves this story easily from page to page with a steady pace. The dialogue is smooth and the descriptive voice shows every scene. The suspense is key to this story…every time you think you know who the villain is, there’s another suspect to watch. A good read blended with mystery, action, and drama.
