DEAD GIRLS DON'T WEAR DIAMONDS

Nora Blackbird is just a hard-working girl trying to stay afloat financially after her parents lost the family fortune. Nora's career as a society reporter is hampered when her old boyfriend's wife is found dead in the family swimming pool shortly after Nora and the husband are caught together in a bathroom at a large party. Worse still, the dead woman has been changing her appearance to look more like Nora and she has a history of stealing other people's jewelry. The latest jewel missing is Nora's grandmother's sapphire ring! Nora, with the help of her zany sisters and her Mafia-connected boyfriend are out to set the record straight.

This is the second of the Blackbird sisters mysteries by Nancy Martin. This book was a quick read and enjoyable. Ms. Martin manages to mix lighthearted fun with more serious issues. I am looking forward to reading more of the Blackbird sisters and their capers.

Rating - 4 stars
