Feminist Mystery Reviews CLOSELY AKIN TO MURDER Reviewed by Harriet Klausner Claire Malloy might not be the greatest book seller in the world, but her reputation as an amateur sleuth keeps growing. How else can Claire explain the fact that a relative, reputed to have died over three decades ago, wants her to track down a blackmailer. Ronnie Landonwood, Claire's cousin, who everyone believes died in a car crash, is living under an assumed name, and is now a famous medical researcher up for a Nobel Prize. However, Ronnie's sordid past is about to become public, including the fact that she spent eight years in a Mexican prison for murdering the Hollywood producer who tried to rape her. Familiar with Claire's unorthodox penchant for crime solving, Ronnie hires her to identify and locate the blackmailer. From the time Claire arrives in Mexican, someone seems willing to go to any length, including killing the investigator, to stop the truth that has been buried for three decades from surfacing. This is an exciting who-done-it mystery. The novel is fast-moving with so many twists, dead ends, and red herrings that readers truly cannot anticipate what will happen next. Clearly, this is another winner in the irresistible Malloy series.
