One thing leads to another

A young man seeks Ms Hewitt's assistance with finding his birth mother.
In the process another situation causes Ms Hewitt to assist in investigating a crime which the young man had been accused of commiting.
Again, this series is similar to another couple of female detective stories that have previously been released. I suppose it is the era when woman doing what was previously deemed a man only occupation is part of the attraction of the genre. Each story is individual as the crimes and the people participating in them.

Not bad

I enjoyed the characters but it was a little hard to follow. I like that it wasn’t very long so I was able to listen to it a one afternoon while I was driving. It’s worth a listen to. I will check out more in the series.

Delightful!

Another delightful short murder mystery with the unflappable Miss Hewitt taking control and solving the who-done-it mystery.
She surrounds herself with a colorful collection of sometimes amusing and sometimes serious people who help her in every way they can.
The story is well written, runs smoothly and kept me listening to the audio and I soon finished it. There were a few surprises along the way and this made the story even more interesting.
The audio is once again done by Julia Eve and she does a really good job with it.
I requested and received a promotional copy of the audiobook and my voluntary and unbiased review is recorded above.
