A detective with panic attacks? That describes Elizabeth Clary (or just E to her friends) perfectly. Of course, her detecting only happens on paper, as she's hard at work writing a super sleuth murder mystery when she's not engaged in her "real job,"painting someone's living room or den. In the small town of Camphor, Michigan, home of the world famous Brunson Spice Company, E's life in a sprawling old mansion on Cinnamon Street is rather idyllic. She's looked over by her deceased mother's two doting best friends; she has a budding romance sprouting with a hunky landscaper; and she's a well-respected member of the community. Panic attacks shouldn't get in her way. That is, until some of her fellow residents start dropping like flies. Who is killing these disparate and seemingly innocent individuals? And why? Is it time for this shaky sleuth to investigate for real and get to the bottom of MURDER ON CINNAMON STREET?
