Story Behind The Book

Christine Sterling never set out to become a sleuth. At fifty-five, she's a member of the Baby Boomer generation-- with perpetual energy and youthful vitality, at least in her own mind. What most certainly can be said of Christine, involves her penchant for snooping. With time on her newly-retired hands, snooping becomes her primary diversion. Christine's beloved border collie, Molly, is the perfect sleuthing partner, possessing a nose for sniffing out clues, so to speak.
