Red, White and Blue Murder

By: Jeanne M. Dams

Narrated by: Kate Reading

The Studebaker household is in turmoil; the news that President McKinley has been assassinated is more than anyone can stand. South Bend, Indiana, is not a hotbed of anarchist activity, but something is clearly going on. When McKinley's death is blamed on foreign-born anarchists, Hilda Johansson, a recent immigrant, is concerned that fellow immigrants might be swept up in a wave of xenophobia. Despite orders to mind her own business, she sets out to discover exactly what is happening, no matter what it might cost her. In Dams's second Hilda Johansson novel, following Death in Lacquer Red, the brilliant sleuthing has everything a traditional mystery fan wants.©2000 Jeanne M. Dams; (P)2000 Books on Tape, Inc.

Gotta love a mystery set in 1901 South Bend, IN

What did you love best about Red, White, and Blue Murder?

In historical fiction what could be better than a story set in South Bend, Indiana in 1901, featuring he back story of the anarchists? As a child my cousins lived in South Bend and my Grandmother drove a Studebaker. I hear echoes today terrorism of my impression of anarchism in the early 20th century. I want to know what that was all about and how it ended, and how that might inform us in our fight against the terrorist movement.

On top of all of that intriguing setting, the author has penned a fabulous mystery featuring a smart, plucky female heroine.
