Who Needs Friends Like These?

Sarah Kelling and Max Bittershon leave Boston for a summer at Ireson Landing in the fourth Max and Sarah mystery, THE BILBAO LOOKING GLASS. But it is anything but a vacation as Sarah's Aunt Appie and her family arrive to keep Sarah from making a mistake and to partake of the traditional Kelling custom of free-loading. No sooner than Sarah opens the door than she and Max discover a rare antique mirror that has been stashed in her home. The yacht club crowd pulls out all the stops to give Sarah a welcome she doesn't want and to prevent her from marrying Max by framing him for murder and robbery. It doesn't work as Max's family are respected year round residents--this story digs into the prejudices of very shallow people. The usual fast pace you expect from Charlotte MacLeod and packed with her clever characters who spice the pages. Nothing is ever as expected from this seasoned writer. Just the older book to take to the dentist office, where you'll enjoy the time to read.

Art thief runs rampant

Sarah and Max go on vacation at Ireson Landing. They find a valuable Bilbao Looking Glass in the house. Sarah insists it does not belong to the Kellings. Then a neighbor is murdered and then her friend. Are they related or coincidence. Great ending for Sarah and Max.
