A Birdie Mealing Mystery: Book 2

1985 has started with a bang! Shoulder pads securely velcroed in place and Walkman on her hip, music teacher and amateur sleuth Birdie Mealing is on the beat. Can she unravel the rumours in time to catch the killer?

A new gossip column in the local paper is the talk of the town. And when the latest entry leads to the editor being stabbed, the principal of Birdie’s school is caught knife in hand and covered in blood.

 
Birdie is on the case to clear her boss’ name. And luckily, with Detective Herb Lawson – her so called boyfriend – missing in action, there's no one to stop her. But who is the real assailant? The adulterer, the swindler of school funds or the cradle snatcher?

Everyone's keeping secrets and when Herb finally makes an appearance, the flimsy explanation he gives for his absence means he's keeping them too.

Can Birdie find the culprit, save her colleague, repair her relationship and land her dream job? And can she do it all without her own dirty little secret being the next one published?

Forget the sticks and stones, words can break bones.
