Red Heron

Price: $17

by Karen Dudley

Dudley’s second Robyn Devara mystery, The Red Heron continues Devara’s ­intriguingmisadventures. The poison in the ground and possibly in the water table of an environmentally sensitive wetland turns out to be the least of the crew’s ­worries as a sniper takes aim at Devara’s latest project. Sabotage turns into murder most bizarre when a dead man is found with a garden variety gnome and a pack of Polaroids.
