To save their homes, former madam Maude Dollarhyde, her mixed-race grand-daughter, Bountiful, and their fellow council members agree to sell four abandoned mansions for a penny apiece if the buyers will stay in town long enough to be counted in the 1920 census. Soon, an eclectic cast of newcomers arrives, including a New York actor and his questionably-familial family; a lawyer with an agoraphobic wife, mute son, and austere nanny; six excommunicated Mormons; and the great-nephew of the town’ s hated former boss. As real estate developer and politician Gerald Dredd plots to foil the council’ s plan, the new families move in and knock over the first domino in a row that includes three romances, twelve sticks of dynamite, an unintentionally hilarious community theater production, an investigation by a Chicago insurance detective, and last of all, murder!"--Amazon. 650 0 $a Murder $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Western stories. 650 6 $a Meurtre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Villes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240106010837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=50634004AC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
