First in a new series starring Schuyler Ridgway, a very funny, 40-something real estate agent. Schuyler is stunned when she is named one of the heirs to a recently slain businessman. Just as she sets out to investigate, she becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
Cozy mystery, not at all timeless, because in part the heroine is (I think) supposed to be a strong spunky woman of the 1990's but just comes off as another of the pink collar ghetto. The who done it is mildly surprising & the deduction process somewhat clever but I didn't really root for the heroine as she bumbled along & let most of the cast of characters invade her personal space & diss her time after time.
