Unfortunately relaxation is not to be as as she's called on to get to the bottom of a mysterious death that occurs on board.
A combination of Cheers bartender and Miss Marple, Sally Witherspoon is as determined as ever to solve it.
Praise for Murder On The Mississippi:
"An enjoyable, but deadly cruise down the Mississippi that will keep you in suspense from start to finish! A relaxing trip down the river that turns into a nightmare for main character Sally Witherspoon is a delightful mystery for readers... Lots of twists make for an entertaining read. And like Sally, once it’s over, I’m ready for the next adventure. Looking forward to more in the Sally Witherspoon series!"
~ Ivanka Fear, author of the Blue Water Mysteries and Jake and Mallory Thrillers

GUEST POST:
What Makes Sally Witherspoon Tick?
I have always thought about writing a mystery novel as I've loved reading mysteries since pretty much forever. Growing up, my mother had most of the Agatha Christie novels and I especially liked the ones with Miss Marple. I now have many of the books myself as well as the TV series with Miss Marple and could engross myself in the stories over and over. They are just so entertaining!
At the beginning of the pandemic back in 2020, I had a lot of time on my hands (as did so many of us), so I decided to begin writing the first book. I thought a lot about what kind of detective I would want to create and where I would place this person in the world. The most important thing for me on creating my detective was that I knew it should be a female detective who is in her mid- to late 50s. There are many great amateur detectives out there these days, but (IMHO) too many are thirty-something, inheriting a bakery or something from a relative. I wanted my detective to stand out. Sally Witherspoon was born in Savannah, Georgia, one of my favorite places on the planet, and moved to Atlanta for college. She met and married her husband there and had a long career in finance.
At some point in her early 40s, she decided she needed a change so she divorced her husband and left her job in finance. She decided to move to the Arkansas Ozarks, where she had been once with her now ex-husband and where a good friend of hers was from. To top it all off, she decided to do something completely different, so she bought an old bakery outside the town of Berry Springs and turned it into a biker bar.
Life is fairly quiet until she finds a dead body behind the bar one Saturday night. Thus starts her amateur detective side hustle, which she discovers she loves.
The setting of the Arkansas Ozarks was inspired by a trip there back in September 2015. I just loved the atmosphere, the small-town feel, the people and altogether the remote location fit well to a small-town mystery.
Find out more about Sally in book 1: Death in the Ozarks and book 2: Murder on the Mississippi. Both were published by Level Best Books, with an audio version of book 1 published by Blackstone Publishing.
I hope you enjoy reading the books!
