The Butler Did Not Do It

What happens when your weird cousin sends you a telegram stating that your aunt's dead and the butler did it... Lindsay Graham discovers that there's more in store than a traditional English funeral and the requisite neighborhood gathering. Way more. Maria Lima's Agatha-Award nominated short story is a great read! Just don't go into it expecting a novel-length work; it's a short story, and priced accordingly.

    Sometime before the Revolution, Maria Lima was born in Matanzas, Cuba, to a family of voracious readers and would-be writers. After her family emigrated to the United States, Maria discovered the magic of books. She started writing her own stories and has been at it ever since. Her writing turned corporate as she used her journalism degree and cranked out marketing copy, feature stories and book reviews. The fiction muse kept calling and in the spring of 2005, was finally fed as Maria's first published short story, "The Butler Didn't Do It" was published in Chesapeake Crimes I and garnered an Agatha Award nomination for Best Short Story. Maria spends most of her days working as a Senior Web Project Manager in the DC area. Her evenings and weekends are spent writing.
