Montbleu is a small town in Northeast Pennsylvania. Located in the Endless Mountains, it has rolling mountains, spectacular fall foliage, and an astonishing number of murders. The town was settled in the late 1700's. Many of the original families still own farms around the town. The scenery has attracted a number of summer residents who own property on the numerous lakes. Recently, natural gas has become a driving force in the region as gas companies compete to exploit the Marcellus Shale.
Chess Devon, acting Chief of Police, moved back to the town looking for peace and quiet after her break up with San Francisco's Chief of Detectives, Bartlett Thomas. Immediately, she was involved in a series of murders, recounted in Murder in Montbleu. To add to her problems, Bartlett Thomas is now Chief of Detectives in Scranton, a big town south of Montbleu.
In this blog, we'll follow Chess' adventures both professional and romantic. I'll provide more history of Montbleu and invite you to meet the local families.
I hope you enjoy my town.
