Patricia Rockwell - Essie Cobb 02 - Papoosed (28 page)

            “Oh, Miss Essie!” he blubbered.  The choir director had one more number for the group and directed the carolers to begin singing “Oh Come All Ye Faithful.”  As the sweet young voices echoed through the halls of Happy Haven, all of the residents and their families joined in, until finally everyone was singing the hymn.  The music swelled until it sounded like a throng of angels was serenading one tiny little papoose who was in the center of it all.
           

About the Author

Patricia Rockwell is the author of two cozy mystery series. PAPOOSED is the second in her Essie Cobb senior sleuth mysteries. The first, BINGOED, introduced Essie and her gang of amateur detective friends who live in the Happy Haven Assisted Living Facility. The group attempt to find out what has caused a fellow resident to collapse and fall into a coma after he wins a dollar playing Bingo. Their efforts are rewarded with a series of merry adventures, just as in PAPOOSED.

Rockwell also writes the Pamela Barnes acoustic mystery series, which follows the psychologist and acoustics expert as she assists local police in solving various crimes with sound clues. In the first of these, SOUNDS OF MURDER, Pamela discovers an accidentally-made audio recording of a strangling death and uses her knowledge of sound to determine the identity of the killer. The second book, FM FOR MURDER, presents Pamela with an intriguing case. A local disc jockey is shot to death on-air. No one sees the killer but many listeners hear the crime unfold. Pamela uses the radio station’s recording to help the police track down the wily murderer. In the third of the series, VOICE MAIL MURDER, Pamela helps in an investigation of the local university football coach’s murder. The man is found stabbed to death in a seedy motel. The only clue is his cell phone which contains voice mail messages from three unknown women. Pamela uses her knowledge of the sound of the human voice to help the police solve this mysterious case.

All of Rockwell’s books are available in both paperback and e-book format on Amazon and other sites. You can read more about this author and her work on the publisher’s website: www.cozycatpress.com.
