Description
When a man goes up the Ferris wheel very much alive, but comes down dead, local small-town police suspect a heart attack. But one person is calling it foul play, a Miss Marjorie McClelland, full-time mystery writer/part-time sleuth. In 1935, Depression-era Connecticut, Marjorie's dogged determination and independence is a breath of fresh air to some, and a source of consternation for others. Marjorie's fiancé, an achingly handsome police detective, wishes she'd just stay home and act a show more little more ladylike. Undeterred, blonde and lovely Marjorie charms her way into what becomes a full-scale murder investigation. But not without the maddening assistance of a bored, yet altruistic, millionaire, Creighton Ashcroft, who, when he's not swapping barbs with Marjorie, tries to impress her by doing a bit of aristocratic snooping on his own. show lessTags

a campy mystery starring a mystery writer and set in depression-era Connecticut. Enjoyed it for what it was. It reminded me of an old movie; the way it was written and the way the plot moved along...
Bubby: I so love an independent woman! Our heroine, Marjorie McClelland is one sassy gal.
Sissy: I love the way she gives it back to all the raging chauvinists around her, her own fiance included. (for full review go to www.bubblebath-books.com)
