Murder by Accident is the second book in the series about a young teacher in an Oregon logging camp in the 1950s. This go-round Marge O’Connor has decided to buy a horse to ride in her spare time. An old man on a ranch near Bend has just the mount for her but while she’s there making the deal, he is murdered. It’s none of her business and she tries to keep her nose of out it but someone follows her home and throws a Molotov cocktail at her. That’s just too much and she enlists her rodeo rider cousin’s help in figuring out who wants to murder her and who killed the old rancher. It’s a great story with a surprise ending. Olexer does a good job of capturing the flavor of the fifties. The large print makes it easy to read, too. Reviewed by Ruby Doyle ( )
