When a nice dinner among Jeremy, his assistant (Roscoe), and his best friend (Judy) is interrupted by a call to investigate a murder, he gets one of his most interesting cases yet. And he soon finds he'll need to tread carefully. Many have something to lose if the circumstances of the case are leaked. And just as many might have something to lose if the case isn't solved quickly.
But as Jeremy knows quite well, some people will do anything to protect their secrets.
This was a fun mystery, reminiscent of a classic detective novel. There were several smaller side cases during the course of the book that provide added context and opportunity to observe the characters in action. It definitely provided for a much richer world, drawing me in as a reader.
While Jeremy and his assistant are gay (not with each other) and Judy is a lesbian, this isn't really a romance. Those are just facts that are a part of their character. And even though it's not really acceptable at their time in history, they make it all work quite well.
Definitely an enjoyable read. Highly recommended to fans of mystery and/or historical fiction. ( )
