great book

Captures the reader's interest til the end. Too bad the author has since passed away - no more of her great reads .

Her Last and Perhaps Her Best

This was an intriguing mystery. The characters were fully delineated, and everything was tied up neatly at the end. For a woman in her 80s, Truman was street-smart and savvy and didn't have to resort to explicit sex and foul language in her mysteries. It's refreshing sometimes to read a book that isn't filled with sex and gore. I'm truly sorry there won't be any more of her books.

Mystery

I love Margaret Truman's books. I am never embarassed to be caught reading them. They hold my attention. I'm sorry she has died and there will be no more.
