Milford Elementary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088060964)

Everything Gwendolyn Strong learned about solving mysteries, she learned in kindergarten

One deceased groom-to-be. One dead-end clue. One last chance at redemption.

Gwendolyn Strong feels lost outside the classroom. And at loose ends after retiring, the ex-kindergarten teacher longs for the excitement her stable marriage and yoga sessions can't provide. So the spirited fifty-something leaps into action when a former student takes his life on the eve of his wedding day.

Skeptical that he died by his own hand, Gwendolyn teams up with her elderly mentor and true-crime addict daughter to scour the small town for clues while dodging the dismissive cops. But when her prime suspect turns up fatally crushed in a freak accident, she fears a cunning culprit could be pulling some murderous strings...

Can Gwendolyn solve the case before her name is next on the hit list?

Milford Elementary is the nail-biting first book in the Gwendolyn Strong Small Town Cozy Mystery Series. If you like whip-smart heroines, buried secrets, and gripping suspense, then you'll love J A Hoda's masterful whodunit.
