Elizabeth Daniels Squire Books Overview

Who Killed What’s Her Name?

In a story set near Asheville, North Carolina, absentminded sleuth Peaches Dann is writing a book about memory tricks. Meanwhile, her aunt is found dead in her father’s pond wearing a dress exactly like the one Peaches has on at the time. Can Peaches find the killer before he strikes again?

Remember the Alibi

A serial killer is swindling the elderly, then killing them. The conman makes a mistake, however, when he targets Peaches Dann’s father. The suspects include the wife of a gun crazy mountaineer who runs a doll hospital, a history professor who shows Peaches some bizarre memory systems, and a suspicious fortune teller.

Memory Can Be Murder

A flatlander cousin admits to Peaches Dann that she’s scared to be living in the mountains. Her fears prove well founded when a body is discovered stuffed in a laundry bin. To solve this mystery, Peaches must contend with rattlesnakes, an exceptionally eccentric Broadway actress, and a sneaky mari*juana farmer.

Whose Death is It, Anyway?

Attending a lively family reunion, Peaches attempts to promote her book in the wake of a teenage family member’s disappearance, which is complicated by disagreements over what may have happened and the identity of a body.

Is There a Dead Man in the House

An Agatha Award-winning Author

Peaches’ father and his new wife, Azalea Marlowe, were in Tennessee to oversee the renovation of her old family home. And when Peaches arrived, she found the excavation process fascinating — it was almost like watching the house’s memory come to life. But some of the house’s memories are less than pleasant — as proven by the discovery of buried bones over a century old. The ownership of the Marlowe house may rest on the solution to the mystery. But even more disturbing, Azalea’s fall from a broken ladder may indicate that the violence is about to visit again…

Available only in Wheeler Softcover 4.

Where There’s a Will

An Agatha Award winning Author Peaches Dann’s friends have come into an inheritance that’s made them rich. But the will has provisions for the inheritance of any heir who dies within the year. A strange feature for a young and healthy bunch or is it?

Forget about Murder

Moonshine and forbidden passion are but two of the clues for the absentminded sleuth Peaches Dann as she solves another mystery by employing creative memory tricks. Peaches goes undercover as a reporter for a country newspaper in this thriller that includes a gun collection and a very determined dog.

Kill the Messenger

DECEASED AUTHOR COMES BACK TO Kill the Messenger Adultery, greed, blackmail, various disgruntled offspring, a few too many other women, a repressed secretary, and a jealous reporter. These are just a sampling of the motives and suspects in the murder of a philandering, outspoken publisher who is trying to keep his paper from the hands of eager buyers. With Kill the Messenger, the late Elizabeth Daniels Squire’s classic style mystery contains persistently far flung evidence. The author, however, is on top of the story and keeps a reader guessing until the bitter end. A journalist and an avid mystery reader, Squire s experiences as a newspaper reporter provided the background for this, her first published mystery. Five Star Publications, Inc. is republishing this, along with Squire s complete Peaches Dann mystery sleuth series in the launching of their new Five Start Sleuth division. Squire was born into the newspaper business. Her grandfather, Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson, was a controversial editor and publisher. Although he was never murdered, he was often threatened. Her father, Jonathan Daniels, was press secretary for Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. Her husband C. B. Squire was a New York Times correspondent. After writing this initial mystery, she went on to write the soon to be re released Peaches Dann mystery series, won the prestigious Agatha award, and was posthumously inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame.
