Meg is helping her friend inventory and clear out the estate of a wealthy art broker. They discover a hidden room in one of bungalows and a hidden body, now just a skeleton. It could be the owner’s son who went missing twenty years ago. Never one to turn her back on a mystery, Meg delves into the past. At least it takes her mind off her own problem, that of ownership of a cottage she bought and is now being claimed by an heir of the deceased former owner. Much goes on in this intriguing cozy. Meg gets coerced into adopting a 23-pound Maine Coon cat. She also gets stalked, which may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. The mystery is a compelling one, the characters are believable, and the cat is a darling, if a bit demanding. It will be interesting to see what the author has in mind for the next book. This second installment in the Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery series leaves the reader wondering what will happen next. ( )
