A CHARITABLE END

English author Jessica Mann imparts a lighthearted murder mystery in which affairs of the heart, small-town gossip, and other indiscretions are overseen by meddling inhabitants. Wanda McCaddon's jocular expressions detail the death of Lady Dilly Gosset. The distrusting voices of her husband, neighbors and friends question the accidental nature of the death. The investigation generates an abundance of suspicion as this upbeat narration gingerly entertains. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 00]
