A House By the Side of the Road
Jan Gleiter

A fairly new writer, I’m told (by Geraldine at The Mystery Bookstore in Dallas) – I think this is only her 2nd novel. A woman inherits an old country house from a deceased aunt, but the reader already knows that the former renter, a slutty girl with a purple car, was murdered in the house. Nobody else knows, though. Strange stains under the kitchen linoleum are an ominous hint. Soon Meg realizes something’s not right, and that someone is trying very hard to keep her from finding out what it is. Kind of vintage M. Higgins Clark-ish. ( )
