Book Description

Avalon Mystery April 30, 2006
It was tradition for most of the residents of Grosvenor, NJ, to come into the town center for celebrations, eating, enjoying the festivities, and watching the annual Fourth of July fireworks.

Except this year it was different. Greedy developer Keith Hollis decided to go up to the quarry for unknown reasons. It's at the bottom of that quarry that his lifeless body is discovered, throwing the people of Grosvenor into a state of shock.

Many people have been strongly opposed to Hollis's plan to pave paradise and build McMansions over the old quarry and are immediately on Detective Davis and Brady's suspect list. But Hollis is universally disliked, making the list of suspects impossibly long.

However, nursery school teacher and amateur detective, Wally Morris, has questions and ideas of her own. She's solved other mysteries in the town, mysteries that stumped the police. She's always had success but this time she might find herself in a real cliffhanger.

Once again Joani Ascher has outdone herself with a Wally Morris novel. The continued character development is terrific and I've really gotten to know the heroine. I've read all of the Vengeance books and this is one of my favs. Can't wait for the next. Read this one and then go back and read any you've missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wally Morris is a great character!, July 23, 2006

This review is from: Vengeance on High: A Wally Morris Mystery (Avalon Mystery) (Hardcover)
Although I met Joani Ascher after having read her first mystery, VENGEANCE BEYOND REASON, I don't know her all that well. Her heroine, Wally Morris, however, feels like an old friend to me. She is the reliable sort of woman that you know will always offer to help, and sincerely mean it, especially during an extreme situation. Whether or not that help will be truly useful, or just muck things up further, is a different question, of course. Although I often fear good-hearted Wally is going to inadvertantly screw things up beyond repair, she hasn't let anyone down yet. Wally has enticed me to read a few of the books in this series. Joani's latest book, VENGEANCE ON HIGH, show this delightful kindergarten teacher/busybody/amateur detective solving a mystery within the sullied world of New Jersey real estate development. Anyone who lives in New Jersey will find this series quite authentic. The mysteries all take place in a fictionalized version of practically any Northern New Jersey town and they include all the local problems and characters that suburbanites face on a daily basis. The setting isn't exotic, but it's fun to read what a talented storyteller does with what we all know so well.
