Fit for Murder

Former editor of the Cabot Cove Gazette, Evelyn Phillips is back in Cabot Cove. Evelyn tells Jessica and Seth that she’s come to town to check on her old friend, Bertha Mae. Jessica is concerned when Bertha Mae talks about her new neighbor, Martin Terranova. He teaches yoga in his pool house. Evelyn is becoming convinced that Terranova is after Bertha Mae’s money. A short while late, he turns up dead. What at first blush seems to be an accident, soon proves to be murder and Jessica must put her investigative skills to the test when Evelyn becomes the prime suspect.

The Women

Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. She has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

The Road from Belhaven

Growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven farm, Lizzie Craig discovers at a young age that she can see into the future. Her gift of sight is selective. But she does see “pictures” that foretell incidents and accidents and begins to realize a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. Nor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis begins to court her. After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion, and when faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes what turns out to be a terrible mistake. But while Lizzie can’t change the past, her second sight may allow her a second chance.
