Nipped in the Bud (The Hildegarde Withers Mysteries)

Nipped in the Bud (The Hildegarde Withers Mysteries)

A comedian is dead, a witness is missing, and only Miss Withers can set things right

In comedy, timing is everything. If Tony Fagan were a better comic, perhaps he wouldâ€™ve known when to keep his mouth shut. After weeks of jokes at the expense of businessman Winston H. â€œJuniorâ€ Gault, the sponsor of Faganâ€™s television show, Fagan is found with his head bashed in, and Gault is charged with the murder. The case seems open and shut, but Gault has the money to buy himself an acquittal. The only witness against him is Ina Kellâ€”a small-town dreamer who came to New York to find fameâ€”and sheâ€™s disappeared.
Â
Itâ€™s up to Hildegarde Withers, a retired schoolteacher with expertise in solving crime, to find the vanished witness. Ina may have come to New York seeking excitement, but she didnâ€™t deserve to get caught in the line of fire.
Â
Nipped in the Bud is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes The Penguin Pool Murder and Murder on the Blackboard.
