Milicent Lesueur

Margaret Moseley. Three Forks Press, $20 (172pp) ISBN 978-1-893451-05-6

Edgar finalist Margaret Moseley (Bonita Faye) presents Milicent LeSueur, whose title character is a psychotic bag lady beloved by many of her townsfolk. When our heroine witnesses the murder of a high school girl near one of Milicent's hangouts, she demonstrates better, albeit wackier, sleuthing skills than the police.
