A Little Learning: A Madeline Maclin Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Open EPUB eBook)
Former beauty queen and fledgling private investigator Madeline Maclin has married her best friend, Jerry Fairweather, and settled into his old house in the small town of Celosia, North Carolina. Jerry seems to have given up his cons and schemes but not his phony séances.
Then Amelia Lever, an unpopular teacher at Celosia Elementary School, dies mysteriously. Convinced hers is not a natural death, Maddy starts to investigate.
And then comes Maddy's next case. Nathan Fenton hires her to help solve a riddle left to him by his Uncle Elijah, a man who loved to play games. The riddle says: "From west to east the river flows, from ancient times the sparrow flies. Trust animals that live in packs, and listen where the portrait lies." Could the teacher's death and this mysterious riddle be somehow related?

The opening of Tesh’s entertaining third cozy to feature PI Madeline Maclin (after 2007’s A Hard Bargain
) finds Madeline, who’s just opened her own investigative office in Celosia, N.C., under a lot of stress. She has one week both to solve a case that could mean a large inheritance for her client and to paint a picture for a respectable gallery that’s invited her to exhibit. In addition, Madeline can’t resist an offer to guest art-teach at the local elementary school, where she’s on hand for the suspicious demise of a unanimously loathed teacher. The teacher’s death and Madeline’s other case turn out to be linked by the latest must-have collectible cards for kids. The stakes rise when her new husband, semiretired con man Jerry Fairweather, is assaulted while working in a local bookstore, and those same cards are the object of the robber’s desire. Amusing characters and charming village atmosphere more than compensate for a number of plot implausibilities.
