Closely Akin to Murder (Claire Malloy, Bk 11)
Debisbooked avatar reviewed on + 136 more book reviews


In this book, bookseller Claire Malloy looks into a thirty-year old murder and fresh dead bodies disconcertingly appear. Author Joan Hess has two series of books; I recommend both. The second series involves tiny Maggody, Ark, pop. 755, where dead bodies and mysteries pop up on a regular basis. The lone peace officer, police chief Arly Hanks,does her best despite the interfering of her mother, Ruby Bee and Ruby's best friend, Estelle.
