ssejig 's review for:
The Turquoise Shop
by Frances Crane
When Pat Abbott met Jean Holly. I'd read the second book in the series (rare for me to start out of order, but I was able to get a hold of it first) and enjoyed it so I decided to go back to the beginning.
Jean lives in a town pretty much run by a rich woman, Mona Brandon. Her husband has been missing for a long time and the gossip buzzes about whether the body of a drifter could have been the man himself. Mona is not well-liked using her money to control the town and having had a popular Latino put in jail for "stealing" a diamond bracelet. But now there are more people dying and shots are even flying in Jean's direction.
Great characterization, moves a little slower than modern mysteries but, if you can relax and enjoy the ride, it's a great read.
