Synopsis:
PLANTED is book one of the new mystery series, The
Penningtons Investigate, from award-winning author C. T. Collier. The
Penningtons, Lyssa and Kyle, are both PhD’s, and when their clever minds start
asking questions, clever killers can’t hide.
It’s
Monday of spring break when Professor Lyssa Pennington’s backyard garden
project unearths a loaded revolver. With no record of violence at their address
and no related cold case, the Tompkins Falls police have no interest. But the
Penningtons and a friend with the State Police believe there a body somewhere.
Whose? Where? And who pulled the trigger?
The
Penningtons’ canvass of their quiet neighborhood turns up disturbing secrets
about the family who lived in their house for decades and another ill-fated
family a few doors away. No one seems to know how to contact the only sons of
either family. The few facts they have about them don't add up and, since the
gun was buried about the time both young men disappeared from Tompkins Falls,
the Penningtons feel compelled to find them and make sure all is well.
Lyssa
follows the money story and finds twenty million dollars, a neighbor who’s not
what he seems, and a long-buried rivalry. Kyle goes after homicide data in six
states and finds a body. Their next surprise is a murderer who will go to any
length to conceal the crime.

| Author C.T. Collier |
C. T. Collier grew up in Seneca Falls, NY, left the area for college and jobs, and always wanted to return to the Finger Lakes. Today she lives in a beautiful small city on one of the prettiest of the Finger Lakes, not unlike fictional Tompkins Falls on lovely Chestnut Lake.
Most days you’ll find her writing in her tiny office looking
out on a woods populated with fox, deer, wild turkeys, and songbirds. In her
career as a tech-savvy college professor she has been endlessly fascinated with
campus intrigue. Entirely fictional, Tompkins College is no college and every
college.

ReplyDeleteI want to read this one.
A gun on the property? I suspect I would give it to the police. Whether they expressed an interest or not.
I'm with you! --C. T. Collier
DeleteThe characters in this one really appeal to me, Mason! Perhaps it's because I'm an academic, myself. This one sounds like a solid new series! Thanks for sharing.
