MURDER IS A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND

Paige Turner has promised her new boyfriend, Dan Street, that she won't get involved in more murder cases. She plans to honor her promise until her late husband's best friend in Korea comes to New York to ask for her help. His sister was murdered and he doesn't believe the police's insistence that the case was a simple burglary. Paige is convinced, too, when she sees the amazing diamonds that the girl's brother, Whitey, found hidden in her box of Quaker Oats. Paige sets out to find the murderer, even if it means keeping the truth from Dan. Amid the holiday hustle and bustle, Paige is on the trail of a murderer.

Amanda Matetsky has written another delightful book set in 1954. Paige is a great heroine, not too brave or too perfect, and her friends are wonderful characters, too. The actual murderer was something of a surprise, but mostly this book was fun just for the great storyline set in New York in the '50's. I'll be looking forward to the next Paige Turner book.

Rating - 4.5
