Description Miranda and the D-Day Caper by Shelly Frome

On a sparkling spring morning in the Blue Ridge, small-town realtor Miranda Davis approached the tailgate market, intent on dealing with her whimsical cousin Skip’s unexpected arrival from New York. It turns out that Skip was on the run and, in his panic, grabbed his beloved tabby Duffy, recalling that Miranda had a recent part in solving a case down in Carolina. His predicament stemmed from intercepting code messages like “Countdown to D-Day,” playfully broadcasting the messages on his radio show over the nation-wide network, and subsequently forced to flee. At first, Miranda tried to limit her old childhood companion’s conundrum to the sudden abduction of Duffy the cat. But the forces that be were hell-bent on keeping Skip under wraps by any means after he now stumbled close to the site of their master plan. Miranda’s subsequent efforts to decipher the conspiracy and somehow intervene placed both herself and her old playmate on a collision course with a white-nationalist perpetrator and the continuing machinations of the right-wing enterprise, with the lives of all those gathered for a diversity celebration in nearby Asheville and a crucial senatorial vote on homeland security hanging in the balance. You met Miranda Davis in Shelly Frome's 'Moon Games' now she has a new mystery to solve!

My Review

Miranda and the D-Day Caper is another cozy mystery by Shelly Frome. I read
Moon Games which had the same protagonist, Miranda Davis.

Miranda is a realtor and amateur sleuth. She had previously solved a mystery so when her cousin Skip came around asking for her help she was not so eager but she decided to help.

It appears that Skip embellished some stories when he worked at a radio station and saw on the station manager's desk. These stories went back to WWII and D-Day.

When he is threatened and his cat Duffy stolen to control Skip. Miranda was not too sure about the truthfulness to Skip's stories but agrees to help find Duffy.

As she digs deeper, with the help of her sometimes boyfriend Harry, she uncovers more than she bargained for. All of a sudden, there are torched churches, a blown-up train and a plot to change America that goes all the way to the White House. Despite the danger this puts Miranda in, she is determined to get to the bottom of it.

I enjoyed this story and all the characters involved, from hapless Skip to Miranda. The storyline was definitely believable. I did have a bit of a time getting into it but probably halfway through, the story took off and I was into it.

If you love a good mystery, Shelly Frome is an author that will certainly please you. I highly recommend it.
