Uncle Sam's Mistress: A Novel of Love & Suspense on the Coast of Maine

By Lois Delano

It is the 1960's. "Postmistress" and widow Grace Beckett is busy with work, and writing fiction, but is dissatisfied with life. When elderly Serena Sevon is found unconscious on the very day nephew Justin Lorenzo arrives, a plot is uncovered to gain "Aunty's" valuable waterfront property, and that of her neighbor. Then the body of a pretty blond is found in the river. Is it accident, murder, or suicide? Grace unravels the mystery with close friend Arminda Moody. Justin has also become deeply involved, and Grace, though unconvinced she can trust him, is clearly falling in love. The writer lays open the entwined lives of a Maine Coast town's good people, viewed from its hub -- the Post Office, and exposes the workings of one woman's heart.
