The Blackbird sisters and their chaotic lives return in NO
WAY TO KILL A LADY by Nancy Martin. The series focuses on
the lives of the upper echelon of Philadelphia society.
The
Blackbird sisters came from money until it was discovered
that their parents had spent it all. With their parents
living outside the country, Nora works writing a society
column for a local paper. Since she is living on a
pittance, her grandmother's collection of designer clothes
helps her fit in with her wealthy friends.
Nora's life is stressed enough with the return of her
lover,
Mick and his ankle bracelet. Emma can't seem to keep away
from the man who got her pregnant; even though he's engaged
to another woman. Libby has started using social media and
has a huge following. Now, they learn that they've
inherited
the estate of an aunt that died on the slopes on a volcano
in the South Pacific.
When they arrive at the estate the expensive and extensive
art collection is gone. When they open the elevator, they
discovered the remains of a woman.
The search for the killer will lead Nora into even more
danger. She will expose a dirty lawyer and prove that her
cousin has been bilking the estate for years. At the same
time, she will have to protect the secret work that her
aunt
had done for years.
It was so nice to see another Blackbird Sisters
mystery.
There is something about the characters that is hard to let
go of. Even with all the tragedy around them, they bounce
back and keep moving forward. Fans won't want to miss NO
WAY TO KILL A LADY!
The Blackbird sisters are back—and as witty and wonderful as
ever!
For richer, for poorer...
Nora Blackbird, the Bucks County ex-debutante with a haute
couture wardrobe, a hot job as a glamorous society columnist
and a stone cold bank account, might finally have her own
life just right, but everyone around her is going down in
flames. Her sister Libby seems destined to be the lead
character in a tabloid sex scandal. Her sister Emma is
expecting a mysterious love child. Her best friend, Lexie
Paine, is serving time in the slammer. And now her
mobbed-up boyfriend, Mick Abruzzo—who might actually be her
husband—is conducting clandestine capers from Blackbird Farm
while under house arrest. What’s a good girl to do?
Find a killer, that’s what! Word arrives that the sisters’
great aunt, Madeleine Blackbird, has died in a volcanic
eruption on an Indonesian island and left her fabulous
country estate, worth millions, to the three of them. But
when the Blackbird sisters show up to claim their windfall,
they find the house in a state of disheartening decay and
all of Madeleine’s to-die-for treasures gone. Worse, the
mansion has been hiding a grisly secret: the body of a woman
who died there many years ago. All the evidence points to a
high society murder...
Nora’s special bond with flamboyant Aunt Madeleine compels
her to seek out the truth. With her aunt’s amorous stepson
dogging her footsteps, her unscrupulous lawyer acting like a
skunk, and her devoted housekeeper not to be found, Nora’s
investigation is going nowhere. Good thing Mick’s close by
to offer Nora distractions both dark and delightful. And,
as ever, her irrepressible sisters provide some
unexpected... and highly unorthodox... assistance when she
most needs it.
