Synopsis - By: Maria2222, 03 Apr 2008
A promising new relationship gives Jane Lawless, Minneapolis restaurateur & occasional sleuth, the courage to finally deal with the boxed-up possessions of her long-dead lover, Christine,in this shrewd & consistently entertaining whodunit. Real estate agent Christine's last clients belonged to the wealthy, eccentric Simoneau family, three of whose members were murdered just before her death. After interviewing the convicted killer, Jane is convinced of his innocence & even more curious about Christine's involvement. She finds more than a few skeletonsin the closet when she seeks answers from the pair of bickering survivors still inhabiting the decaying Simoneau family mansion. Meanwhile, Jane offers her trust & support to a young photography student who's a doppelganger for Christine. The photographer's timely appearance is all too coincidental for the suspicious Cordelia, Jane's best friend, who adds her sharp tongue, audacious fashion sense & investigative assistance. Cordelia's sometimes overzealous protectiveness comesin handy when the long-hidden true killer surfaces.
