 Killing Cassidy byJeanne M. Dams Walker & Company 210 pages, November 2000 ISBN 0802733476 Reviewed by Phillip Tomasso III Killing Cassidy is a well thought out cozy mystery with an enjoyable pace. Jeanne M. Dams brings to life amateur sleuth Dorothy Martin, using plenty of dialogue to move the book swiftly from chapter to chapter. The story opens when Dorothy Martin receives a letter from an attorney, informing her of the death of an old friend. The departing doctor left Dorothy some money in his will but in order to claim this inheritance, Dorothy must travel from Europe to her hometown in the United States. Intrigued, Dorothy and her husband, a retired policeman, make the necessary travel arrangements. After the reading of the will, the attorney hands Dorothy a sealed envelope from her deceased friend. As she reads the letter out loud to her husband, Dorothy cannot believe her ears. The doctor believes, despite his 93 years of age, that he has been murdered. The letter asks Dorothy for help. The problem? The doctor does not want anyone to know that she will be investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. Jeanne M. Dams is an intriguing writer and I enjoyed the opportunity of meeting Dorothy Martin. Clever and witty, Dams tells an exciting tale of mysterious adventure in Killing Cassidy. |
