To Grandmother's House

After Laura Magee loses her Boston Museum of Fine Arts job, she lands a position at the Ravensford Chronicle, a small-town New England newspaper. Laura takes over the "Ask Auntie Mabel" advice column, since the original Auntie Mabel, Ann Rickdorf, has choked to death "at the Big Bun on their all-you-can-eat shrimp and lobster night." When hunky Keith Campbell, the chief of security at Ravensford College, complains to Laura that Auntie Mabel's advice inspired his girlfriend, Heidi Lipton, an art teacher, to dump him, Laura agrees to accompany Keith to a party at the college to make Heidi jealous. At the party, Laura literally falls over the dead body of the art department chairman, Jack Proctor, who had been harassing Heidi, making Heidi the prime suspect in Jack's murder. Laura discovers investigative journalism can be dangerous in this old-fashioned blend of romance and detection.
