The reviewer is correct. I kept thinking, why is she doing this. I love the writer and there aren't many of these, but I put it down. I'll save it for hard times.

Great writer!! Unfortunate story.

Any protagonist who is stupid enough to put up with what Kate Mulcay does in this book deserves the results. She doesn't make sure the relatives are actually related; she keeps being devestated by their well meaning but dreadful attempts to help around the house; but never so much as suggests that they check with her before doing things. She gives them cash to spend even when she knows that it goes for liquor instead of food, and then she hands over a credit card and doesn't require it back. When handed the perfect excuse that it's "mislaid", she neither demands nor cancels it. Besides that, I figured out the perpetrators of the murder before it even happened. I would not have finished up the book if I hadn't been hard up for reading material. The one positive point for this book is that the author has a reasonably decent writing style.
