Awesome

Part of the Charlie Parker mystery series by Connie Shelton, Reunions Can Be Murder revolves around PI Charlie Parker (a woman, despite the name) who is hired to find 80+ year old Willie McBide. McBride's aggressive daughter Dorothy wants him found before the big family reunion. People begin to die and no one knows who to blame. A few strange townspeople act a little weird and don't really tell all they know. There are plenty of secrets kept here. An awesome read, it really keeps you not wanting to put the book down and not venture into any old gold mines in the southwest =]
