Shedding Light on Murder
Shedding Light on Murder | Patricia Driscoll
11 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
Grace Tolliver, former probation officer and new owner of Pearl's antique lamp shop, hires Duane Kerbey, a troubled young man, as a holiday employee. When a prominent local citizen of Barnstable Village, Cape Cod is murdered, and Duane is arrested for the crime, blame is placed on Grace. After all, she sent the young man on an errand to the victim's home. Between learning the craft of constructing and hand painting lampshades, readying the shop for the annual Village Stroll and trying to keep an eye on the antics of her eighty- four year old father, Grace sets out to solve the murder by shedding light on the victim's complicated past. Her quest is hampered by the attractive detective assigned to the case who doesn't appear to be seriously pursuing fresh leads, but is keeping close tabs on Grace. With a town full of likely suspects, a second murder and a series of bitter snowstorms battering Cape Cod, Grace must prove Duane's innocence and restore her reputation by uncovering the shady and unrepentant killer.

I enjoyed this Cape Cod cozy mystery! I liked the snowy, cold wintery setting & thought the characters were well-drawn, if a bit surface. I did guess the whodunit somewhat early, but I wasn‘t 💯 certain, & there were other story-lines that required resolution. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the specialty lamp-store “schtick” .... & now I want to paint my own lampshades & buy beautiful finials. 😁

2nd book shown.. w/ a more enticing cover!

paper.reveries Tell me about it, that second cover is like an industrial peacock! 😍😍😍 4y

This was a classic case of do not judge a book by its cover... I didn‘t have any interest in this one after looking at the cover but I enjoyed it very much!! Great characters and good plot line!

Three of us reading on a sleeting winter day. My son declined to join us today. My niece is loving One of Us is Lying (thanks for all the recommendations) and my daughter is loving The Wicked King. Hoping weather ends so we can go to see West Side Story tonight.

tracey38 Sounds like a perfect snuggly, reading day. 5y

A little bit grittier, more realistic cozy than some. I loved that the main character was a former probation officer- no one writes about us, we aren‘t sexy 😂 For an indie author I thought this was well fleshed out. The supporting characters made me want to hang out with them and the town.
