It proves to be a bad day for Eldon Blakeley. He is fired from his job at Garland Dairy. His car won’t start. His electricity is shut off for nonpayment. His wife leaves him for the insupportable conditions they had sunk to. And he is murdered while taking vengeance on his wife’s fish tank. Things cannot get worse until they do. His disgruntled wife, Autumn, schemes to benefit from his death with a two-million-dollar insurance policy. When the young and amiable Doug Nolan discovers the bludgeoned and lifeless body of Eldon Blakeley on the cold bathroom floor, surrounded by dead tropical fish scattered about, with his head against the toilet bowl and his finger on the flusher, Doug knows he has walked into murder. Can Doug discover who committed the deed? Egged on by his septuagenarian sidekick, Mildred Clifford, Doug pursues the matter and discovers that one name rises to the top of their suspect list: Daisy the Cow. They hoof it to Garland Dairy to milk whatever clues they can find, and there they learn the best advice ever issued by a dairy: Beware of falling cows. In an unexpected twist of historical fate, Eldon Blakeley’s murder becomes wrapped into the 1934 murder of John Lazia, the notorious crime boss of the Prohibition era in Kansas City. With his grandmother’s Bible study group also on the case, can Doug solve the murder of Eldon Blakeley before another victim is put out to pasture?

It's a poetry book about the seasons and nature, including god. God seasons the earth with rain, snow, and sunshine; he also created the Earth and it's surroundings, he gave the earth to us (Psalms 115:16 K.J.) Autumn And Winter is mostly about Seasons And Surroundings with a little bit of inspiration about god, and it also rhymes. You see the word Autumn or Winter in every first word in the poem title. This is a good book for nature lovers who love nature, for Christians who love reading about god and nature, and anyone who loves to read good rhyming poetry. It's also a good coffee table book.
