No Nest for the Wicket
The hilly terrain next to the old Sprocket house that Meg Langslow and her fiance,
Michael, are refurbishing is the perfect location for an "extreme" croquet
field--even the legs of cows and sheep are convenient extra wickets. A sport
traditionally reserved for genteel society, croquet has become all the rage
in Caerphilly…until it appears someone in town has taken the "rage" a bit
too literally.
While stumbling down a steep bank after her ball, Meg encounters the body of a
fresh female corpse with a mallet-sized dent in her head. If that isn’t reason
enough to call a time-out, it turns out that Michael knew the woman from
years before. Ever curious, Meg decides that playing arm-chair sleuth is far
more important than working on her game . . . and soon she finds herself
in the perfect position to solve the murder mystery--or become the next victim.
