See Jane Sing! - Jolene Stratton Philo

. .

Résumé :
Prepare for another hilarious misadventure as Jane Newell and her zany friends tackle the next Little Missouri mystery. With three months of teaching and one solved mystery under her belt, Jane Newell is back. In short order her Beetle plows into a snowbank, her most rambunctious student hijacks the country school Christmas program, and she stumbles over the body of a teenage boy. Though Sheriff Rick Sternquist warns her not to investigate, Jane ignores his advice when she discovers a tangle of clues.They suggest that the murderer lives where Jane does - Little Missouri, South Dakota (population 92), in the northwestern corner of the state. With the help of cranky school janitor Velma Albright, switchboard operator Betty Yarborough, and neighbor Merle Laird, Jane closes in on the killer and sings her way into the hearts of the community she now calls home. Even a South Dakota blizzard can't stop Jane Newell or bury the clues she determines to uncover as she tries to solve Little Missouri's latest mystery. String the Christmas lights, pour a mug of Merle's hot cocoa, and cozy up for Jane's latest adventure. As she stitches together costumes for the upcoming pageant and strings together evidence for her case, readers will laugh, ponder, and hum along as they See Jane Sing! ~ Rebecca Janni, award-winning author of the Every Cowgirl series

Biographie:
Before I became an author, I taught elementary school for 25 years. 7 of those years were spent in northwestern South Dakota. Our first child was born while we lived there, and our experiences with him resulted in 6 books for the special needs community. My fiction series, West River Mysteries, draws heavily on my years as an Iowan who landed in cowboy country, who taught country school, and who was adopted and cared for by the locals in the tiny town where we lived.
