Coffee Break Mysteries

Coffee Break Mysteries is a collection of twenty short mysteries, from shoplifting to murder. The author, William S. Shepard, is a skilled mystery writer, with four novels in the Robbie Cutler diplomatic mystery series.

Each mystery is set forth for the reader to solve, with clues and several suspects. The reader solves the mystery, then turns to the next page for the solution. It€s just the right pace for something new and different as you enjoy your coffee break!

There is history here, with an unexpected dilemma for General George Washington, a nightmare about the Salem Witchcraft hysteria, and a mystery from the time of the First Thanksgiving at Plymouth. The White House Ghosts even drop by to make things interesting for the current 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue residents! And could President Ronald Reagan really solve the Geneva Summit Goldfish Mystery?

The holidays are well represented. We have a Christmas Eve visit from some beloved Dickens characters, and a spooky early morning manifestation at the grave of Edgar Allen Poe.

But the reader will surely have other favorites, perhaps from the selection of Ask Martha mysteries. But don€t tell Ask Martha€s secret €“ this advice for the lovelorn columnist is really a 6 foot 5 inch former football player named €œCrusher€ Davis, making ends meet by writing under a pseudonym for the local newspaper!

Whatever your preference, get your coffee and open your Kindle for a refreshing coffee break, with a spice of mystery. You€ve earned it!
