A Bookworm’s World is a blog stop today for Clare Chase’s new book – Mystery at Lockley Grange . This is book 13 in the Eve Mallow Mystery series, but it’s a first read of this series for me. Someone has killed famous diplomat Lance Hale in his own home – right after an event held that night. One of the caterers is Eve Mallow and she also writes obituaries for the press. And....solves mysteries. There are many supporting characters, but enough history was included to help me know who was who. Eve has a personal connection to Hale and his family. That makes things easy – or perhaps harder. Eve has her work cut out for her. There are so many candidates for the whodunit. Just when I thought I had it right, Chase throws in another twist and sends the narrative down another path. I wasn’t successful in guessing the killer until the final chapters. Which is a good thing. If you love cozies, you’ll love Mystery at Lockley Grange . As well as writing, Clare loves family time, art and architecture, cooking, and of course, reading other people’s books. You can find Clare’s website and blog at www.clarechase.com.

Kay’s sister Dorothy just annoys me so much! She is a narcissist. I am always intrigued with the technology, reasoning, methods and more that are used in the books. I’ve gone online few times to read more. It’s fascinating. They figure heavily in this latest. The Scarpetta books are all told from Kay’s point of view. Cornwell keeps the time line moving forward – the characters are aging. I enjoy Kay’s inner dialogue very much. well. And Kay has another case that is hard to read about. The supporting cast returns with Investigator Pete Marino right by Kay’s side. The two have had a fractious relationship over the years, but they’re both dedicated to finding the truth.
