Book Description

August 1, 1999
Cornelia Upshaw has sworn off men. She's a single mother, a transplanted Southerner now living in New York and working as a secretary for a temp agency. Her social life consists of reading murder mysteries on her lunch break. Her current gig is six weeks at Dayborne Ventures, Inc., a high-rolling financial house on Wall Street.

At Dayborne some of the executives get expensive perks. Some of them nice retirement packages. All of them would kill for a corner office. Now it looks like one of them has.

Cornelia is doing light typing and filing in front of the door belonging to Executive Vice President J. Abercrombie Davis. Which makes her a suspect when J. Abercrombie is found behind that door. Alone in a locked room. Murdered.

Lieutenant Victor Kosciuski is the homicide detective assigned to the case. He's good looking, he isn't married, and he's pretty sure Cornelia didn't do it.

He has plenty of other suspects: Brittany, the unhappy trophy wife; Nelson, the Associate Vice President who's next in line for Davis' wide mahogany desk; and the stranger who sends the unsigned letters that read "You won't get away with it," among others. In fact, he's having a hard time finding someone at Dayborne Ventures who didn't want Davis dead.

Victor has taken personal interest in Cornelia's health. That's good. Cornelia will need all the help she can get because there's still a murderer loose at Dayborne, and there's one more name on the killer's list: Cornelia's.

About the Author

Long ago, India Edghill lived in New York City and worked as a temporary secretary. Although she never found a corpse during her years as a temp, she did learn many useful things. She passed this arcane knowledge on to Cornelia Upshaw when Ms. Upshaw needed a job.

Now India is a writer of fantasy stories and historical novels. Her stories have appeared in MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY'S FANTASY MAGAZINE, CATFANTASTIC IV and V, and THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. She lives in the beautiful pollen-filled MidHudson Valley with her sister, eight cats, and far too many books about far too many subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars fine mystery, October 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: File M for Murder [3.5 Disk, HTML] (Software)
Single mother Cornelia Upshaw enjoys working as a temporary secretary because the money is good, the benefits are excellent, and she avoids the in-house political bull. She currently works for finance giant Dayborne Ventures as a six-week replacement while the assistant secretary to Executive Vice President J. Abercrombie Davis is on vacation.

After a weekend of reading mystery novels and playing with her three-year old daughter, Cornelia arrives at her temporary office. She notices that Abercrombie closed his office door rather early for him. That entire morning the executive never leaves his office. When an employee needs to see Abercrombie for guidance, Cornelia tries to call him over the intercom, but no one answers her paging. Cornelia opens the office door to find her boss dead.

NYPD homicide detective Victor Kosciusko leads the investigation, which turns into a murder case as someone poisoned the victim. As Victor makes inquires, he and Cornelia are attracted to one another. However, an unknown culprit will kill anyone whose closes in on identifying who he/she is.

FILE M FOR MURDER is an entertaining amateur sleuth tale that sub-genre fans will fully enjoy. Though the killer seems obvious from the start, the enjoyable story line will hook readers due to the antics of the lead protagonist. Her first person narrative allows the audience to humorously see what makes her tick. The support cast augments the tale, especially from the perspective of how Cornelia observes their relationships. India Edghill has provided the opening gamut of what should be an enjoyable series.
