Book Trivia hosted by Ritter Ames

It's time for trivia and today's lovely host is.. Ritter Ames!! The trivia is from her Organized Mysteries! Leave your answers here and the winner will be chosen tomorrow afternoon!!


Here we go! Good Luck.

1.So far in the Organized Mysteries series, the murders have occurred because of job Kate contracted to work for her organizational company. What is the name of Kate’s small business venture?
2.What is Meg always wondering about Lieutenant Johnson?
3.Why did the McKenzie family move to Hazelton, VT?
4.What is the occupation of Meg Berman’s husband, Gil?
5.In Organized for Murder, what beverage does the client (and first victim) share with Kate until they are interrupted?
6.Kate and Meg are best friends now, and work well together in the organization business, but Kate had never really had a close friend before. Why?
7.In Organized for Homicide, the suspect has a fledging small business of her own that is getting a lot of attention. What kind of business is it?
8.In Organized for Murder, Keith had organized the neighborhood kids in a game of street hockey. His and Kate’s daughters played the same position—but on opposite teams—as Keith played during his pro years. What position is that?
9.How many children does Meg have?
10.The Berman household is full of pets—two dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon at the moment. What pet did Kate’s girls finally get in Organized for Homicide after bugging her for months to let them have a pet of their own?

The prize is:
Kate and Meg are the best kind of friends—they support each other while accepting the other’s flaws and failings. They are also moms who know advice shared makes life just that much easier. Because of their friendship—and because Kate is still getting acclimated to Vermont’s brisk weather—the giveaway is a pair of Organized for Homicide porcelain mugs, so the winner can share with her/his best friend, and they can both use the mugs to enjoy warm beverages in the upcoming cooler months. Also included will be a pair of magnetic clips to share—perfect for keeping shopping notes on the refrigerator, or for lists of phone numbers of favorite people.

  15. I just finished reading several of your books and found I enjoyed them. Looking forward to the next one in your series.

    1. Kate's venture is Stacked in Your Favor.
    2. Meg pondered where Lieutenant Johnson "hails from."
    3. So Keith McKenzie could accept a job as an anchor on the local talk radio's sports show and Keith could be closer to his parents they moved to Hazelton (his wife was pleased with the plan).
    4. Gil is a reporter with the newspaper.
    5. They shared tea.
    6. Since she was a child she and her family moved a lot, and then more as the wife of a hockey player. All of those relocations made it difficult to make and maintain close friendships. (I'm so happy she has Meg!)
    7. Designing and making quality leather fashion goods such as purses, totes and belts.
    8. A goalie (like my B-I-L playing on a neighborhood team).
    9. Meg has 2 sons
    10.A life saving cat
