Feminist Mystery Reviews WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED Reviewed by Harriet Klausner Though he gives her a retainer to hire Oakland private investigator Jeri Howard, Rob Lawter tells the sleuth to wait until he gives her more details before she begins working for him. However, he did show her a threatening note and that he planned to blow the whistle on Bates Inc., the food processing firm he works for as a paralegal. Before he can tell her what he wants her to do, Rob apparently jumps to his death form a fifth story window. Since Jeri cashed his check, she feels she owes her now deceased client his money's worth. She takes an undercover job in the legal department of Bates where she hopes to quickly ferret out the identity of killer. Unbeknownst to the detective is what is lurking in the background, something that will turn out to be a more menacing threat to society. WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED is a frightening Bay Area who-done-it because the story line reads so genuine that consumers will be leery to eat or drink anything processed; diets will boom across America. Jeri is a wonderful female sleuth and the San Francisco-Oakland area is always a pleasant place to visit. In her seventh Howard mystery, award winning author Janet Dawson has written her best novel in what is already a top quality series. |
