File M For Murder: A Cornelia Upshaw And Fancy Mystery

by India Edghill

Cornelia Upshaw has sworn off men. She's a single mother, a transplanted Southerner living in New York and working as a secretary for a temp agency. Her current gig is at Dayborne Ventures, a high-rolling Wall Street financial house. At Dayborne, the executives get expensive perks. Some would kill for a corner office. Now it looks like someone has. And Cornelia, typing and filing in front of the victim's locked door, is a suspect.

[Terry · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first book by this author and I enjoyed it. I was pleased to figure out the culprit before it was revealed, unusual for me. As an executive assistance (permanent), I was kind of tickled with the characters. Oh, and grateful, that my bosses are nothing like those in the story. I look forward to reading more of India's books.

Enjoyed this book. Was hoping she'd write more in the series, but not holding out hope. I read this a while back, so can't offer my opinion just yet, will have to re-read it. But love anything by India...
