It wouldn't be accurate to say that things have been smooth sailing for Tom Paretski and Phil Morrison since they reconnected and became romantically involved. They both agreed to put the past behind them, recognizing they've both changed. But there's still something tentative about the relationship. And that's even without family opinions being considered. Tom's older sister, Cherry, gets back in touch with him to let him know two things. One, their former neighbor, a woman he knew affectionately as "Auntie Lol" has died and he's named in the will. Two, she's met a man that she would like him to meet. Of course neither of these are as simple as they seem. First, Auntie Lol's will is incomplete. The second piece of it is hidden in her old home, and she asked that Tom use his "gift" for finding hidden things to fetch it. And this is something her ex-husband and current resident of the home isn't very keen on. Second, Cherry's new man, Gregory, has asked her to marry him. It seems a bit sudden considering they haven't been together long. And it gets even more complicated when Cherry is poisoned at her own engagement party. Suspects quickly emerge, from Gregory himself to members of a writing circle of which Cherry had previously been a member. With Tom's gift and his boyfriends private investigation skills, they are hot on the trail. But can they find who wants Cherry dead before they strike again? -- I absolutely love how fun and cheeky this books are without losing any of their seriousness or legitimacy. I enjoy a good whodunnit, and the added humor that the author provides here is honestly icing on the cake for me. The twists and the reveals are always dramatic (while not being over-the-top) and Tom is just one of those characters you have to love. Appartient à la série
If you dig up the past, be prepared for some dirt to stick. The relationship between Tom Paretski, a cheeky plumber with a gift for finding hidden things, and PI Phil Morrison may only be a few weeks old, but already it's under attack. Tom's friends and family are convinced the former bully isn't good enough for him, and they're not shy about saying so. Then Tom's prickly older sister, Cherry, is poisoned at her own engagement party. Tom's left reeling and not knowing who to suspect. Could it be her new fianc©♭, Gregory, a cathedral canon with an unfortunate manner and a taste for taxidermy? Or someone from her old writers' circle, which she left after a row? Or could the attack be connected to her work as a barrister? Meanwhile, Tom's honorary auntie's left him a gag gift from beyond the grave that could be more significant than anyone knows. Phil's fighting against the clock to solve the case before somebody ends up dead. And with the poisoner hiding a dark secret, Phil's terrified Tom could have been the target all along. NOTE: This is lightly edited reprint of a previously published novel. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
