a clever sleuth with a wonderful cast of supporting characters; a fun mystery! Hope we get more from this author. A "cosy" mystery in a contemporary setting.

This review is from: Beaned in Boston: Murder at a Finance Convention (Paperback)
I like practically all mysteries I buy from Amazon. I'm a CPA and learned of Gail Farrelly from one of my CPA magazines, so I bought 3 of her books and like them all.
