For Glory Cover
 
Carlyle Hudson is a 50-something woman everybody calls Lyle. She speaks for herself in the opening paragraph of the women's detective mystery, For Glory:

“I deal with other people by keeping secrets. Bottom line: I do not like people knowing what I do for a living, how much money I make, my age, or marital status. The answers—gamble, six to seven figures (depending on how well the cards fall), fifty, and not interested in marriage—always raise more questions. Even well-intentioned people seem to feel entitled to that information, which irritates the hell out of me. So I lie. It entertains me, keeps my energy positive and my creativity high.... I think of it as acting. All good poker players act. I am a very good poker player.”

Lyle returns to Kansas from San Francisco after the death of her mother to encounter two mysteries: one from her mother’s past, and one right in front of her. Who is the source of the ominous demands that she “Pay Up”?

This "lite" mystery is humor-filled, a flirty-50s popular fiction for boomers. It will delight women's detective mystery readers who enjoy more mature characters.

What People Say About For Glory

"I was apprehensive when asked to review For Glory by Elisabeth Lee which centers around a fifty something protagonist. I’m on the wrong side of twenty five myself, but wasn’t sure that I wanted to read about a female detective you may remind me more of my mother than someone I could identify with. But if Carlyle Hudson is any indication of a middle aged detective, bring it on. Lyle Hudson, is confident, desirable, and smart."
Sara, The Book Nook Club, California

"Lee's gift is writing strong characters, and that includes the little dog, Glory! Lyle is full of spunk with a lot of attitude, and you soon see that all of the Hudson women (Lyle and her three aunts, Luce, Loretta and Lenore) are quite a hilarious bunch." (read full review)
Melissa's BookShelf, Georgia 

"Great! From first page to last. The tone -- hip, post-modern, far-out -- never misses a beat. There is a requisite dollop of sex, lots of wonderful characterizations, and just plain intelligent asides throughout."
Berthe Neham Small, Virginia

"I thoroughly enjoyed [For Glory]. Almost immediately after I began reading, the characters really came alive. Once I had finished the book, I truly felt as though I had spent time with Glory, Lyle and her friends and family. It wasn't just the story that held my interest, it was 'spending time' with the characters. I did not want the book to end and I hope there will be more installments."
Amy Bergevin, Colorado

"WOW! I'm impressed . . . But what do I know? I'm just a person who reads. Lyle held me captive. How is it that this sassy female managed to meet so many good looking guys?"
Janet Turner, England 
Actress, Movie: Calendar Girls

"I was really involved with Lyle and her aunts and men. I could not put the book down and can't wait for the sequel!"
Ginny Jones
Boulder, Colorado

"Instead of 20 or 30-year old protagonists, this 50-something woman, active and sexy and bold, will make you laugh out loud."
Marc duPlan, Colorado 
Editor, Prairie Poetry

"Lyle demonstrates that 50 is the new 30. The suspense and action of For Glory will appeal to men as well as women." 
Anonymous

"It's been quite a while since I've read anything that flows so smoothly, catches the reader up so intensely and ends so satisfactorily. It is an excellent read...."
Christine Pool, Kansas

"I just finished the book. It is really good. I did not want to put it down. This is the reason that I have not accomplished much this weekend!"
Karen Efman, Georgia

“Carlyle Hudson has a wry outlook on life.... It’s often a witty, dry, subtle humor.” 
Werner Anderson, Kansas

Mindie Padget, Lawrence Journal World
