A Lesson in Murder: A Teacher Summer Vacation Cozy Mystery Series with Pet (Summer Vacation Mystery Series)
By Maisy Marple
History Teacher. Clever Cat. Historical Homicide.
Middle school history teacher Marcus Jenkins planned a relaxing week at the Pinecrest Mountain Historical Reenactment Festival. Instead, he and his Maine Coon cat Lincoln discover festival organizer Roland Blackwood dead in a Revolutionary War display—with historical details suspiciously incorrect.
When local law enforcement overlooks crucial historical inconsistencies, Marcus reluctantly puts his encyclopedic knowledge of Revolutionary War minutiae to work. As Lincoln demonstrates an uncanny talent for finding evidence, they uncover a dangerous web of forged historical documents, questionable authenticity certificates, and a murderer hiding in plain sight.
With a killer still at the resort and another festival participant mysteriously poisoned, Marcus must determine which of the historically-savvy suspects had the most to gain from Roland’s death. Was it the underappreciated assistant? The wealthy collector? The rival dealer? Or someone with expert knowledge of historical authentication?
Marcus and Lincoln must solve the case before they become the next victims of a murderer willing to kill to protect their carefully crafted historical deception.
A Lesson in Murder is a delightful cozy mystery featuring tweed jackets with elbow patches, an imperious cat with detective skills, and enough Revolutionary War intrigue to satisfy any history buff.
