Martinis & Mayhem: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After the first three novels in the "Murder, she wrote" series of mysteries, I sort of prepared myself for another cozy but nonetheless fruitless work by contributor Donald Bain. However, "Martinis & mayhem" surprised me very pleasantly.
Jessica is once again on the road, promoting her latest novel "Blood Relations", when a visit to the local women's prison puts her right in the spot to clear an innocently imprisoned young woman by the name of Kimberly Steffer. Jessica finds her diary in her purse at her return to the hotel and decides she will do what she does best: solve the mystery to clear the wrongfully accused and, at the same time, catch the correct culprit. In this adventure, Jessica in joined by her old friend from Scotland Yard, detective George Sutherland, who seems to be very interested in becoming more than a friend, although Jessica is not quite sure she wants to abandoned her widowhood just yet.
The book is well written, and its simple prose is not out of place as it was in the previous novels. Jessica appears smart and quick witted, and George Sutherland is no less than the most typically charming British gentleman. San Francisco is described in a way only a connoisseur could do it: its beautiful sights, the Golden Gate bridge (where Jessica almost falls to her death!), the typical trolleys and the romance this picturesque city has to offer (even though Jessica describes it from the point of view of the upper class traveller), will delight every reader's senses.
I will definitely reccommend this book for the "Red Eye" on your next trip to San Francisco, the better yet if you have never been there; and a delight for the repeated visitor as well.
