Is Carol playing into a killer’s plan?

A series of random deaths suddenly fall into a pattern when reclusive, eccentric billionaire Thurmond Rule dies, leaving an immense estate, but no valid will. With no close relatives—Rule’ s son and only heir vanished mysteriously years before—the search begins to find more distant kin who may have a claim to the Rule billions. And there would be several more applicants vying for the money, but for the disturbing fact that many of them have recently died or been killed. Detective

Inspector Carol Ashton speculates that one among the remaining would-be heirs could be responsible for thinning the field so drastically but is baffled that a killer would draw such oblivious attention to themselves. As the authorities contemplate protecting anyone with a blood link to Thurmond Rule, Carol fears she may be unwittingly shielding a killer and playing into a deadly plan…

With another in the phenomenally successful Detective Carol Ashton Mystery series, Claire McNab again proves why she is the most popular writer of lesbian mysteries with this suspenseful story of cat and mouse.

1.0 out of 5 stars Feeble
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2004
All good things must come to an end, and if they don't this is what you get. Carol Ashton should have been kissed off a while back when she was still interesting. This novel is a lemon. The plot is stretched thin and is barely credible to begin with. If you want to read a good Claire McNab mystery, try the early Carol Ashton books. I should have known better than to buy this, but like a lot of readers I was hoping Ms. McNab would pull a rabbit out of the hat. Instead she gave us a turkey.
