Three Can Keep a Secret

A Stella Crown Mystery

De: Judy Clemens

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

When motorcycle-riding Stella Crown hires a new farmhand to help run her Pennsylvania dairy business, she gets more than she bargained for. A Mennonite widow arrives, burdened not only with grief but also by rumors of infidelity and murder. Stella herself is feeling deep sorrow over the loss of her longtime friend and employee Howie and is worrying over her shaky finances. Soon she is also coping with an influx of nasty in-laws, heartbroken beaus, and spiteful vandalism. Determined to protect herself and her farm, Stella sets out to discover the truth while trying to give her new employee the benefit of the doubt.

Meanwhile, Stella’s good friend and fellow biker Lenny is riding a crisis. One moment jovial, the next angry and suspicious, Lenny is haunted by pain and secrets he won’t share with Stella. His odd behavior is soon complimented by bizarre attacks on his home and business. Now there are two people close to Stella with undisclosed pasts, and the old saying “Three can keep a secret, if two are dead” suddenly gains new and terrible meaning.

"If you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting one of the most original figures in recent crime fiction - Stella Crown, twenty-nine-year-old Pennsylvania dairy farmer and dedicated biker - Judy Clemens' perfectly realized second book about her is a good place to start…. The elements of Stella's life, as diverse as they are, ring loud and true, thanks to Clemens' ear for what farmers and bikers sound like, especially when they're under pressure." ( Chicago Tribune)

"A delightful story, brimming with life and quirkiness and stocked with memorable characters." ( Contra Costa Times)
