Seffi Wardwell Mysteries
Retired science teacher Seffi Wardwell is making herself a
new home on the Maine coast. She has a flower garden to keep up to the stiff

When a local pariah is killed in a scenic Maine village, no
one seems to care except outsider Seffi Wardwell. Seffi brings her good heart
and decades of experience teaching science to the problem in a race against
indifference on one side and murder on the other.
