The Mystery of the Lakeshore Ltd - An Eleanor and Lydia Mystery

Eleanor and Lydia, Book 2

When Eleanor's great-granddaughter, Lydia, shows up seeking her help, the "retired" detective knows she has no choice but to spring into action once again.

Lydia has been attending classes at a local university and has great admiration for one of the teaching assistants who has been doing cutting edge research. On a trip to Washington DC to start on a new, ground-breaking project, the woman and her work disappeared. The local police aren't taking the case seriously, but Lydia believes her friend is in real trouble.

With a solid history of sleuthing together in the past, the unlikely team confidently heads out in search of clues. Soon, they find themselves knee-deep in corporate intrigue and murderous greed with nothing more than their wits and the contents of Eleanor's enormous handbag to save themselves.
