The Barn Door

The Barn Door, a historical mystery prequel short story to the Calendar Mystery seriesNow why would a story called The Barn Door not show a barn on the cover? Well, it has quite a bit to do with the state of mind of an old man named Hector Jones with a problem. His young wife's mostly obnoxious relatives have taken over Jones' house. So, on Friday July 1, 1898, he goes in search of a detective. Who does he hire? None other than Daniel Price, recently arrived in Kansas City in this prequel short story to Juliet Kincaid's Calendar Mysteries that feature mystery and romance with Minty Wilcox and Daniel Price from newly met to newlywed and beyond in Kansas City, a place that could get downright deadly a hundred years or so ago.Praise for The Barn DoorIf you have never read any of Juliet Kincaid's calendar mysteries, you are missing out. This short prequel story to the first book, January Jinx, is fun and introduces us to the two main characters, Daniel and Minty, before they actually meet. I especially like the descriptions of Kansas City in the 1900's as well as the vivid descriptions of the characters. Read The Barn Door and you will not be disappointed.
