Description
A small-town reporter hunts a big-city killer in a novel by a New York Times-bestselling author who provides "a truly American version of the English cozy" (Tulsa World).

When her part-time reporting gig gives Lucy the opportunity to attend a Boston newspaper conference, she looks forward to a vacation from domestic bliss. But upon leaving Tinker's Cove, Maine, she quickly discovers that alone time can be kind of...lonely. And in between libel workshops and panel discussions, Lucy takes a guilt trip. She feels terrible that she won't be home to help her husband celebrate Father's Day.
But when Luther Read—head of a nearly bankrupt newspaper dynasty—suddenly drops dead, Lucy has other things to think about. She's not buying the theory that Luther died of an asthma attack. The man just had too many enemies. Always the intrepid snoop, Lucy vows to investigate. But she can't help wondering if her name will end up on a byline—or in an obit...

        June 1, 2003
        In Father's Day Murder: A Lucy Stone Mystery, the 10th entry in Leslie Meier's engaging cozy series after Birthday Party Murder (Forecasts, July 8, 2002), Lucy is feeling guilty about attending a Boston newspaper conference while her kids take care of celebrating Father's Day with her husband back home in Tinker Cove, Maine. But her mood shifts when the suspicious death of newspaper tycoon Luther Read, a patriarch unbeloved by his offspring, sets Lucy on the trail of a possible parricide.
