Aggie Underhill Mysteries
review 1: This was a light, light read. Did I mention that it was light? Aggie Underhill, a widow who moved from England to California to be near her daughter's family, snoops around the murder of a has-been movie star. With her is her best friend who bought the condo next door, and a police officer who wants to be more than a friend.Not much of a mystery, to be honest. But if you want some fluff with no gore, bad language or sex involving amateur mature female detectives, it may be for you.
review 2: A Hardboiled Murder, an Annie Underhill Mystery. Michelle Ann Hollstein writes a story of grandmothers, movie stars, grandsons, a marine, a police officer, an adulterer, a murder victim, an inscribed piece of jewelry, a spurned wife, and a tram ride up the side of a mo
... moreuntain during fall foliage season. This is a breathtaking ride that involves a dead body falling from the roof of one of the tram cars. It involves a search on foot through the woods on the side of the mountain, with treacherous cliffs unseen in the dark. It's a story of family devotion, family competitiveness between grandmothers, and a story of a marriage between ages. It's a story of a book group, a callous lover, and an anticipated inheritance. It is quite a cast of characters, each carefully described in the foreword of the book and each well developed through the actions of the story. It is a delight to read, and another five star story. less
