A Lack of Temperance by Clara Mckenna

A Lack of Temperance by Clara Mckenna

From Clara McKenna comes the first installment of a new historical mystery series featuring Hattie Davish, a traveling secretary who arrives in a small Ozark town only to discover her new employer has disappeared . . .

On the eve of the heated presidential election of 1892, Miss Hattie Davish arrives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a scenic resort town where those without the scent of whiskey on their breath have the plight of temperance on their tongues. Summoned for her services as a private secretary, Hattie is looking forward to exploring the hills, indulging her penchant for botany-and getting to know the town's handsome doctor. But it's hard to get her job done with her employer nowhere to be found . . .

An army of unassuming women wielding hatchets have descended on the quiet Ozark village, destroying every saloon in their path-and leaving more than a few enemies in their wake. So when their beloved leader, Mother Trevelyan, is murdered, it's easy to point fingers. Now that she's working for a dead woman, Hattie turns to her trusty typewriter to get to the truth. And as she follows a trail of cryptic death threats, she'll come face to face with a killer far more dangerous than the Demon Rum . . .

Anna Loan-Wilsey, a librarian and material specialist, spends her days tracking down information that aids in the solving of mysteries. She graduated with a B.A. at Wells College, where he had numerous poems published in The Chronicle, their literary magazine. Her website can be found at www.annaloanwilsey.com.
