A Murder in Helvetica Bold: Thistlewood Star Mysteries #1

BURIED LEDES AND BURIED SECRETS
When Ruth Townsend’s job and marriage both end abruptly, she heads home to the mountains for a fresh start. She’s intent on reviving the local newspaper but with only two dozen subscribers it’s a struggle. What she needs is a good mystery...but nothing ever happens in sleepy little Thistlewood.

Then Edith Morton is found dead at the bottom of her staircase. Her son and the sheriff both assume that the old woman jumped, but a shattered teacup and eerie passages about a dark-haired boy in Edith’s diary lead Ruth to believe there’s more to the story. Was Edith simply a victim of dementia, or did someone push her over the edge? Ruth is too curious not to keep digging, but her investigation is unearthing secrets someone spent decades trying to hide.

Can Ruth find out who killed Edith Morton before she or someone she loves becomes the next obituary in the Thistlewood Star?
