Not only is houseguest Linnea, an old chum, drowning divorce sorrows in self-pity and cheap wine. Even worse, neighbor Molly Antonio has been strangled--and also to be murdered is neighbor Anya Neverman, an ugly fortune-teller who greets visitors with a gun. Among the suspects: Molly's husband Gus, who works for the nearby Sunrise Blind Center; Herb Clemente, the Center's ambitious, bitter administrator; Anya's ex-con husband, who lives in the Center's basement for no apparent reason. And ultimately Sharon, while uncovering a mini-network trafficking in stolen goods, will effect a nick-of-time rescue of Linnea. Lots of stalking around--but Sharon remains a tepid heroine, not much helped here by plot and characters that are mildly interesting at best.

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: There's trouble in Sharon McCone's quiet San Francisco apartment building. Madame Anya - with her cards, her tame crow, and her candles - had predicted evil for Molly Antonio. Linnea Carraway, drinking heavily and careening crazily in the wake of a divorce, had argued with her. Now the sweet, elderly Molly lies dead in her apartment. Linnea, last to see Molly alive, is the prime suspect and if Sharon means to clear her best friend, she has to find the murderer fast. Sleuthing out the small-time secrets of her quirky neighbors leads Sharon in and around the neighborhood, and, much to her surprise, to a shocking string of big-time deals and blackmail. Suddenly death is in the cards, threatening Sharon's oldest friendship, her professional credibility - and her life. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
