Torie is in West Virginia because a 101 year-old woman has invited her to listen to the reading of her will, while she is still alive. The town is her Grandmother's home town so Grandma comes along to visit old friends, family and see things once again. Of course, the old woman dies, and Torie is discovered standing over her holding a pillow. Now Torie has to use her genealogy skills to try and unravel an 80 year-old mystery that involves lynching, mysterious disappearances, and a beautiful handmade quilt. I certainly didn't see the ending of this one coming, the tangled family lines that exist in a small town are very hard to trace in this book, and I loved it. Highly recommended and I can't wait to read the next one. I have been reading Rett MacPherson's books in chronological order. I was drawn to them because I also enjoy doing genealogy. I found them a bit light, but enjoyable. I hadn't read her for a while because I thought that the third books spent way more time than I wanted on Tori's family life. But the library had this one - #4, so I checked it out and found that so far it is my favorite in her series. Her family is still present, but they play more of a part in the actual mystery. Some of it was predictable, but not all of it. I thought that MacPerson's writing had a nice touch - including humor that fit well with the overall story. I thought that the various components of the story - the mystery, the humor, the personal life, the historical information, etc - were in a nice balance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieTorie O'Shea (4)
A ten-hour car trip with your eighty-year-old grandmother is never much fun, especially if you're seven months pregnant. But when Torie O'Shea's longtime family friend Clarissa Hart Campbell insists that she and Grandma Gert come for a visit at her West Virginia boarding house, they just can't say no to the 101-year-old dynamo. Upon their arrival, Torie and Gert find Clarissa has called together her entire family for the reading of her new will. But everything's happening too fast, even for Clari: the next morning, she's found murdered in bed. The new will stands, and her lawyer follows through on the old woman's wishes to settle an eighty-year-old debt to Torie's great-grandmother: The Panther Run Boarding House now belongs to Torie. Mystified, Torie must put her genealogy skills to work to determine what secrets worth killing for may be hiding in the dilapidated boarding house and the Campbell family story-before it's too late. A comical blend of history and homicide, "A Misty Mourning" is another delightfully witty entry in Rett MacPherson's popular cozy series. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
