A Fun Introduction to a New Mystery Heroine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A little slow getting started, but worth the perserverence. Schuyler Ridgeway, a divorced 40 year-old, inherits a sizeable amount of money from Ephraim Cross, a man she never met. Unfortunately, the gentleman in question was murdered which makes her a suspect in his death.The fun starts when Schuyler tries to convince the dead man's family, lawyer, the local police, her co-workers, and even her own sons that she never met Ephraim Cross. Since she is now prime suspect in the eyes of the police, Schuyler decides to figure out who the murderer is. Helping her is Ephraim Cross's handsome, unmarried son Matthias. Is he possibly being a bit too helpful to someone accused of being his father's murder? Along the way we get to meet some interesting characters in Louisville, KY. A fast and interesting read, but it did take me a while to get used to the author's style. Her main character has the somewhat annoying habit to pontificate (in her mind) during action scenes, which disrupts the flow of the scence. I'd like to give the next book in the series a try.
