FRANCES LOCKRIDGE / RICHARD LOCKRIDGE
Mr. and Mrs. North seek the killer of a terribly unpleasant society woman Miss Amelia Gipson doesn't tolerate foolishness. She doubts she's ever made a mistake, and it's unlikely she would change anything about her life—even if she knew she was in danger. While researching a famous murder case at the public library, she becomes ill at her desk. Within minutes, she's dead. Miss Gipson would be pleased with the coroner. He doesn't muck around when delivering the cause of death. There's simply no question: She was poisoned. Fortunately, Miss Gipson was one of Jerry North's authors, which means that the accomplished amateur sleuth has another case on his hands. With the help of his utterly brilliant—if slightly strange—wife, Pamela, Mr. North soon finds that the question isn't who wanted Miss Gipson dead, but who didn't. Murder within Murder is the 10th book in the Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
