The author of the popular Lady Priam mysteries now starts a suspenseful new series--of an older female sleuth in a moneyed but mysterious suburb. Betty Trenka had no choice but to take her pension and leave her job. When she takes a part-time post in a Connecticut suburb, it becomes a full-time murder investigation. Original.

Review Summary: ploddding story, cardboard characters
Review: Picked this up for a quarter at a garage sale, and like coming across a train wreck while taking a walk, i couldn't stop looking, even as I was continually amazed that anyone would publish such frankly horrible prose. The plot is lame, the office politics lamer, and the idea that in 1993 the world conforms to 1950's era social mores is laughable. Everything about this book [was bad].

Review Summary: Betty Trenka is a good read
Review: I have enjoyed both Betty Trenka books very much. While I like the catchy titles of the Lady Priam series, I couldn't get into them. Perhaps it's because I personally identify with Betty. I'm hoping Ms. Christmas will devote more writing time to bring us future Betty Trenka books
