5.0 out of 5 stars Fremont recovers from the quake on the Monterey Penninsula, October 21, 2002

This review is from: The Bohemian Murders: A Fremont Jones Mystery (Fremont Jones Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

As soon as her affairs were in order after the Great Earthquake, Fremont travels to Carmel to her friend Michael Archer and the cottage he rented for her in the bohemian artist colony. She arrives to find not Michael, but Misha Kosskoff, apparently his real name, and his lifestyle is as different as that name. She moves her business to a nearby community and takes temporary charge of the local lighthouse while the keeper is away. While on watch she sees the body of a woman wash up on the rocks of the light and sounds the alarm. The woman wears expensive and elaborate clothing, not the clothes of a transient, yet noone claims the body. Does she have any connection to Misha's new friends?

This is an intereting look into the bohemian lifestyle of the early 1900's. The writers and artists that flocked to Carmel were a colorful bunch as evidenced here. Michael becomes even more mysterious if that is possible and the murder is very difficult to solve. Great read!

This review is from: The Bohemian Murders: A Fremont Jones Mystery (Fremont Jones Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the third in the series that began with "The Strange Files of Fremont Jones." And it's amazing! It does everything you want a mystery to do. It's even better than the first two of the series, which I would have thought were impossible to top. This hard-to-put-down book is a superb read. Fremont's and Michael's characters continue to evolve, as does their relationship. And the ancillary characters are so much fun! Dianne Day absolutely sets up a world of time and place and mood and drops us in it. This has instantly become one of my all-time favorite reads -- mystery or otherwise. I'm not kidding! More! More!

5.0 out of 5 stars Day's concerns are about culture and change., May 21, 1998

This review is from: The Bohemian Murders: A Fremont Jones Mystery (Fremont Jones Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

Dianne Day's literary concerns are about the nature of cultural change in the U.S. just after the turn of the century. The time of the sertting is significant -- the horse & buggy are about to give 'way to the motor car. Mirroring that is her protagonist, Fremont Jones', natural feminist sensibility --and way ahead of her time. Day is an entertaining writer, yes, but she uses the mystery genre to examine serious, major themes. She is among the very best contemporary novelists and deserves a wide audience.
