Muriel, a widow, picks up a lottery ticket off the ground and guess what? She’s a winner! Uncharacteristically, she takes a river cruise in Paris with a friend. But before she even gets on the boat, all sorts of peculiar happenings occur, including a dead body. Why is she being tracked, and what are her mysterious stalkers looking for? Muriel is plus-sized and comfortable in her own skin.—refreshing. She also has some experience working n surveillance which serves her well as things heat up. Atmospheric and entertaining
In a devastating accident, Amelia loses her hearing and a lot more: her job as a nurse, and her marriage to a doctor as she turns to alcohol to counter her deep depression. She sobers up and gets a part time job doing data entry for a fancy cancer clinic where she discovers irregularities in the files. She lives next to a river, which is where she comes upon the body of a nurse she recognizes, and this leads her to find out who did. It. The police don’t go far enough —a familiar trope.. She’s in good physical shape, and knows the wild terrain intimately, which is what saves her in the brutal denouement. Her service dog responds to commands in Czech—a charming detail.
