Description
"For Chief of Police Susan Wren, investigating a homicide comes with the territory, but when a young friend gets caught in the crossfire, the former big-city cop's routine work becomes a personal mission." "When Dr. Dorothy, the dictatorial eldest sister of the five Barringtons (four of whom are doctors practicing together), is shot in her office, the greater part of the tragedy is the critical wounding of the most vulnerable innocent bystander - eleven-year-old Jen Bryant. To make it worse show more for Susan Wren, Jen was in her care that weekend, while her mother was out of town." "As with any homicide investigation, Susan begins her search for the killer with the victim's family, and finds that looks can be deceiving when it comes to the successful, respected Barringtons. Once the facade of a proud and unified family is shattered by Dr. Dorothy's murder, a Pandora's box is opened, and the little Kansas community is plunged into fear and danger."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This series just keeps getting better. Family Practice centers around a family, four doctors who run a clinic together and one who is the "outcast". When the oldest and the matriarch of the family is killed while examining Police Chief Susan Wren's friend, 11-year old Jen who is also critically injured the chase is on to catch a killer. Charlene Weir just keeps piling on clues and adding twists and turns to this book until I wasn't sure who the murderer was but I couldn't wait to find out. I'm really looking forward to the next in the series.
A fun mystery, of the old fashioned, upper-middle-class family variety.
