Good Year for a Corpse

Ms. Wolzien once again takes us back to Hancock, CT. A former resident is visiting obscure civic groups and promising them huge donations it they recognize him with a plaque or statue. He calls all the civic leaders together at the Hancock Inn to announce the winner of his largesse, but is found dead in the wine cellar. Guess who solves the mystery?This is another wonderful cozy by Ms. Wolzien. The characters are both new and old and the mystery is well crafted. I certainly wouldn't want to live in Hancock.

Valerie Wolzien has again written a new version of the simple cozy. She weaves a blanket of established characters who are good friends, new suspects who are unique and interesting, and a plot that twists and turns. Her style draws me into each story looking for the new information the setting will offer and leaves me feeling warm and satisfied with an outcome that surprises but does not disappoint me.
