DESCRIPTION:
The clock is ticking. Now Charley's racing to catch a killer before everything falls apart.. The wrecking ball is ready to swing. All that stands between Mulbridge House and oblivion is one final vote. Yet suddenly everyone in town seems to have a stake in its fate: the greedy heirs, eager to tear it down for a tidy profit; the local preservationists, determined to maintain it as an historic site; and the angry neighbors, staunchly opposed to the construction of a modern subdivision. But when Charley uncovers a link to a massive land swindle worth millions, not to mention a drug ring operating out of the manor's abandoned outbuildings, that theory crumbl
Chloegirl said A Killer Plot!. I didn't think it could happen, but the second book in this series is even better than the first! The action is intense, the romance hot, & the characters seep into your soul. Detective Marc Trenault is the perfect match for fiery red headed Charley Carpenter. Charley is intelligent & loves the rush she gets from solving mysteries. While following her instincts & intuition she constantly finds herself in a tremendous amount of trouble, some even life threatening. As the plot thickened & became more entangled I found I could not put the book down! As an extra bonus we are given a sneak peek at chapter 1 of the next. Good mystery - problematic relationship Amazon Customer I devour cozy mysteries, reading between 5 - 7 each week. I've never felt compelled to review one until now. I enjoyed the mystery element of this book (and the previous installment), as well as the snappy prose. There's a level of detail that is often missing in other "cozy" mysteries.But, for me, the relationship between Charley and Marc is a huge problem. He exhibits every trait usually identified with abusive partners - sudden sharp jealousy, possessive behavior, verbal put downs, rage, etc. In addition, in this book and the previous, there are instances of aggressive physical behavior by Marc toward Charley (. "Another winner!" according to LivelyLeeper. Again, I couldn't put the book down as I tried to solve the mystery before Charley. Unfortunately, I have reached the end and must now wait on pins and needles until the next book is released. Hurry please Leslie!
