Milwaukee Autumns Can Be Lethal

This was the first in this series that I have read. I plan to read the whole series. I enjoyed the main character Beth Harley. Her 3 law partners were enjoyable as well. She is dating a homicide detective and at first he is jealous of her sleuthing, but in the end accepts her help. I hope in future books they might even work together to solve crimes.An old classmate from law school is murdered and she was writing a brief for him and feels compelled to solve his murder. She is threatened with letters and pictures of her while investigating the murder. She is afraid for some of her friends due to the threats. This is a fun, fast read and I highly recommend it.

Okay, so I picked up the book only because it had a catchy title. I looked at the back jacket, and there I was. Of course, it wasn't me -- it was Ms. Barrett, but she, too, was a 1971 graduate of a tony Catholic school for young ladies, and bore the welcome burden of a Jesuit higher education.I knew we'd have something in common, although I've never been NEAR Milwaukee.I loved all three of her books, and wish I could sit and have tea with Beth Hartley. Ms. Barrett has brought her, and her peculiar work brood, right into my heart.
