The Fourth of July Wake

by Harold Adams

Shamus Award-winning AuthorWhen an old friend invites Kyle Champion to attend a wake, he quickly realizes that it's not going to be a typical affair. P. J. Krueger, the family patriarch, died three months ago, and now his young widow, Sarah, wants to throw a "discreet wingding" in his honor over the long 4th of July weekend. P.J. also left behind a number of resentful children and their spouses, one of whom is convinced that P.J. did not die of natural causes. Add to this gathering an odd, reclusive neighbor with a violent past, and you've got the makings of some very volatile fireworks.

Kyle Champion goes to a wake for the father of an old friend. Asked to look into the death, he spends the weekend snooping around and asking questions. I actually expected a lot more action. Instead I got slow and predictable.
