Synopsis:
Till death do us part, with kitchen shears. What drives a family man to kill his wife? This question haunts Sarah James, a medical resident who meets the unhappy family at a resort near Big Sur. She witnesses how ugly a marriage can be. But murder?
Sarah and the spunky Fog Ladies—elderly neighbors from her San Francisco apartment building—set out to discover the truth. Their probing finds the threat is perilously close to home, endangering another troubled family struggling to survive.
The Fog Ladies are a group of women living in the same building who band together as friends and sleuths. This story has them trying to discover the truth about a killing in the news. Sarah, one of the fog ladies, met the man accused before the crime occurred, and isn’t sure she believes he can be the killer.
This was a very interesting mystery. It reads like something halfway between a traditional mystery and a cozy with a bit of humor. I really enjoyed the mystery storyline and getting to know the characters. This is book 2 in a series, but it was no problem starting at this point – there is enough backstory and explanation to know what’s going on but it doesn’t bog down the story. I will be watching out for more from Susan McCormick!
