This is the first book I have read by author Karen Baugh Menuhin. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I am glad I took the chance with the book.
It was both funny and a good whodunnit cozy mystery. I laughed out loud many times during my reading and, while I figured out the whodunnit, I wasn’t quite so sure of the whydunnit.
The plot was well done and the characters were hysterical. My favorite was the sleuth, which isn’t all that unusual. But then again, Major Lennox (not Heathcliff!) or Mr. Major Lennox to those in the know, was not the most sympathetic character.
He has his quirks and his flaws but, in spite of being know for being somewhat lazy, he has a pretty good mind when he sets his mind to solving the mystery.
He is the prime suspect in a murder and works, with the help of family members (or maybe not so much help, after all) to figure out the true murderer. He is helped by a freezing snowstorm that keeps the police at bay and gives him time to clear his name.
I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
