Feminist Mystery Reviews FINAL CLOSING Reviewed by Harriet Klausner Anne Arundel County, Maryland is not a place where one would expect female real estate agents to take a self defense course for their own personal protection. However, someone has threatened many of the women and one has been found brutally murdered while showing a prospective client an exclusive home. Eve Elliott works as an agent in her elderly aunt's real estate office. Although starting to develop a thriving business, Eve still has doubts that selling houses is what she wants to do for the rest of her life. Even with a handsome lover, Eve wonders if she should quit and return to the Big Apple where she once was a rising advertising guru. However, a second killing occurs of a colleague in which Eve finds the body. Eve knows that if she decides to stay, she needs to uncover the identity of a killer. FINAL CLOSING is the second entry in the brilliantly written Eve Elliot series. Like the first novel (DEATH IN STILL WATERS), this book is a marvelous murder mystery due to a scintillating who-done-it populated by an intriguing cast, especially Eve. Barbara Lee is rapidly rising to the top of the sub-genre as readers will want more Eve Elliott novels. |
