Trifecta of Murder by Kenn Grimes

Trifecta of Murder by Kenn Grimes

Three murders in four days That's a lot of crime in the 1920s for Booker Falls, a small town tucked away in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, a part of the state's Upper Peninsula. First it was attorney Rudolph Folger, then bank teller Rachel Steinmyer, and last, her father Isiah, the owner of the bank. Local constable Henri de la Cruz is mystified, which only piques the interest of his sometime girlfriend, Myrtle Tully, assistant librarian at the local college and self-declared amateur sleuth. And by rights, as Myrtle was personally responsible for recently solving a long-ago homicide. Now she is determined to put her skills to work again on this trifecta of murders to see what she can discover, much to Henri's dismay. Are there three killers running loose in Booker Falls? Or is one villain responsible for all of the crimes? Myrtle is determined to find a connection between the three cases--a seemingly impossible task as the victims and how they were killed have little in common.

Kenn Grimes' connection with Kentucky can be traced back to around 1800, when his great, great, great, great grandfather, Owen McGlone, moved his family from Virginia to what later became known as McGlone Creek in Carter County, Kentucky. Kenn has a BA in Business Administration from Wittenberg University and a masters degree from Hamma School of Theology. Kenn served several parishes from 1976 to 1984, and in that latter year reestablished the family line in Kentucky when he moved to Louisville to serve as the pastor of St. Mark Lutheran Church. Today, Kenn's two sons and their families still call Kentucky home, while he divides his time between there and Lower Northern Michigan, where he and his wife, Judy, also a minister, are retired but keep busy officiating weddings. Besides Louisville, Kenn also served churches in Indiana, Missouri and Milton, Kentucky. From 1992 to 2000, while Judy served a church in Maui, Hawaii, Kenn owned and operated the largest wedding business on the island, during which time he personally officiated over 3,600 ceremonies. In 2000 the business, Simply Married, was recognized as the second fastest growing small business of any type in the whole state. Kenn sold the business later that year, retired and moved to Michigan, where Judy had taken a pastoral position in a Unity church. Four of Kenn's passions in life are Scrabble, horse racing (betting, not riding), University of Louisville Athletics (particularly football and both men's and women's basketball), and hunting morel mushrooms in the spring (April in Kentucky, May in Michigan). Kenn says two of his biggest regrets are that he didn't start writing seriously earlier in his life; and that he wasn't born in Kentucky. The Other Side of Yesterday is Kenn's second published book. The Other Side of Yesterday takes place during the years 1912, 1918-1919, 1923-1927, and 1863-64. But no story exists in a vacuum: other events were happening in the world, in Kentucky, and in Louisville during those time periods. Follow Kenn's weekly blog at http: //kenngrimes.com as he takes a look at those events, some significant, others more mundane-but nonetheless interesting.
