“There’s been another murder” yells the newsboy as he agitates a copy of the Daily News above his head.
Henrietta Jones is tired of being afraid. One by one, women with red hair are vanishing in the small town of Ember only to be found dead in an isolated Hunting Lodge at the back of the local park. Then, one cold, snowy night, a stranger appears on Henrietta’s doorstep, looking for a room to rent.
Torn between suspicion, fear, and a desperate need for money, Henrietta welcomes the stranger into her home. But as the body count rises, she watches the strange man living upstairs with eagle eyes, worried that there might be a killer among them. Because Henrietta, like all the dead women, has red hair.
As she impatiently waits for the police to carry out their investigations, Henrietta realizes that danger could be closer than she thought. Her husband, her neighbor, and others around her carry long-submerged secrets that could be putting her in danger. Fearing for her life, she takes matters into her own hands, not realizing that by doing so, she has become marked for death.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love writing. As I hit middle age, I started observing how those around me had changed down the years. Don't know how to write this without fewer I's, sorry, but I write this Murder Mystery Series, The Margo Fontaine Mysteries, and it's set in Louisiana, where I've spent most of my adult life. If you're looking for quirky, unique, at times superstitious, and super interesting people, go to Louisiana! Anyway, this couple that the story is about, didn't fit in any of my books in the series, so one morning, being in quarantine without much to do, I sat down and wrote a one off, about this unloved middle-aged redheaded woman who stumbles upon a murder mystery that changes her life. There you go. You'll have to read it to find out the rest!
