  • House Report, A Kate Carpenter Mystery on June 21, 2011

    Canadian theater manager Kate Carpenter is a mystery buff, so when a man's body is discovered in the washroom of her theater, she's eager to play amateur sleuth and find out who killed him. Both the police and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Cam, try to dissuade her from the idea, but she refuses to listen. All the clues point to the killer being someone who has inside knowledge of the theater, but it's difficult for Kate to see any of her employees as murderers. Then the clues start pointing to Cam as the person with the motive, the means, and the opportunity. Can the man she loves really be a killer? Nicholson's first entry in this promising new series has plenty of red herrings and dramatic plot twists, along with a savvy, sassy, modern heroine who is a sort of Canadian Kinsey Milhone. The writing is enthusiastic, the characters appealing, and the overall effect engaging. -Emily Melton Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
