review 1: I enjoyed this mystery - another in the Gregor Demarkian series. It's set in Philadelphia and concerns two cases - the apparent poisoning of an elderly lady and the attempted murder of Sheila Dunham, a TV reality show host. Sheila is a particularly obnoxious character and it's easy to see why someone would want to murder her and you get an interesting perspective on the background to these shows. There are distinct hints of Agatha Christie in this story which I found interesting and overall it was a compelling story with lots of interesting characters.
review 2: Another Demarkian book--with 2 actual mysteries. One is set on Cavanaugh Street and involves the suspicions of the Very Old Ladies regarding one of the residents, and the other concerns events surroundi... moreng a TV-reality show. Both mysteries unfolded in interesting ways...Who is the woman who has suddenly appeared in the Cavanaugh Street home of an elderly woman with no family nearby, and why hasn't the elderly woman been seen lately?And who is trying to kill 'Sheila', the TV-reality show host? [After you meet Sheila, you may wonder who wouldn't want to kill her...]As usual, good characters, good background, and a solid story with everything revealed in the end. less
