A Josephine Stuart Mystery

Josephine Stuart is blessed and cursed with an overactive curiosity, a strong sense of right and wrong and a willingness to put herself on the line for her friends. Josephine has been hired to paint murals in the secluded Munger mansion, located at the top of a wooded mountain. Certain local reprobates have their reasons for wanting the Mungers to leave. Accidents, fires and the death of a forest ranger have everyone on edge. Josephine’s curiosity drives her down the mountain, into a world of illegal activities and nefarious characters. Her situation becomes dire—no way to escape. One captor has a knife, the other has a rifle. Can she save herself and her friends?
