THREE DAY TOWN

Deborah and her husband, Dwight, finally get to take a honeymoon. Yeah, it's just for a week, but they have a chance to go to New York and stay in an apartment there. Deborah and Dwight are excited for the getaway. They have been asked to deliver a package to Sigrid Harald, who is the granddaughter of one of Deborah and Dwight's old friends from home. When the package is stolen during a party in the apartment next door and then dead bodies start turning up, including one in the apartment that Deborah and Dwight are staying in, their honeymoon soon turns into a working vacation.

I have always loved Margaret Maron's Deborah Knott books. I've never gotten around to reading the Sigrid Harald ones. This was a neat tying up the loose ends between the two. It wasn't quite as much fun to have Deborah and Dwight taking a back seat but I did enjoy getting to know a bit about Sigrid. She is certainly a much colder character than Deborah. The descriptions of New York were lots of fun, too.
