Killer Coffee and a Batch of Cookies

Summary

In this collection, Donna Foley Mabry brings us a novella, a selection of seven short stories, and reminiscences of growing up in Detroit. In "Killer Coffee", four retired women gather daily on their patios in the 55-plus community where nothing exciting ever happens. They pass the time plotting imaginary murders. An unforeseen tragedy turns their murders into the real thing and reveals the one woman among them who might be capable of actually committing the crime. In “The Trade”, an aging actress will do anything to look younger. In “Trinkets”, a young woman discovers that the one material thing she treasures most isn’t at all what she expected. In “The Estate Sale”, an older man examines his life and marriage and ponders his future. Fans who have asked Donna to write her own memoirs will be thrilled to listen to the collection of her blog postings that reveal more about how she became the person she is today.
