The Executed Executive (Nosy Parkers Mysteries)

"Inspired by the famous Girl Detective, the members of the Olentangy Heights Girls Detective Society, affectionately known as the Nosy Parkers, spent their formative years studying criminology, codes, and capers. Unfortunately, opportunities to put their unique skills to work were thin on the ground in the post-war boom of their little corner of suburbia and they eventually grew up to pursue more sensible careers. Until... Mary Wright spent her life wanting to become a private detective. As a child, the cases she worked as part of the Nosy Parkers were more exciting than her now-adult secretarial duties in San Antonio, Texas. Everything changed when her boss was murdered, and Mary went into full-blown Girl Detective mode. Can she find the killer if the police cant? Possibly, since a chance encounter brought Peter Meyers, a private investigator, into her life and heart. Hopefully, theyll live long enough to solve the mystery, because the killer appears to have them squarely in the cross-hairs"--
