Summary: Sister Sleuths
Review: WHERE THERE IS A WILL is a collaborative effort by five authors who number among the more creative minds in fiction writing. The themes of the four stories revolve around the lives of the Chambers sisters who grudgingly return to their small-town home to solve cases willed to them by their recently deceased father, a noted private investigator. All four tales are distinct in their style and methodology and effectively showcases the writing prowess of each author."Curtains," the first installment is penned by Margie Walker and introduces Maxine, a phenom in the banking world. In solving her case, Maxine soon discovers she is in for a lot more than she bargained for, in the person of the local police sergeant Luscious Kimble. When she narrowly escapes a bullet obviously meant to silence her, the pair's burgeoning attraction becomes imperiled and she finds that Luscious is more than willing to take on the role of protector. The second story, "The Bad Penny," written by Shirley Hailstock, features Taylor, the daughter who is assigned to solve a missing person's case involving child (...) and possible murder. In the third story, "Identity Crisis," authored by Bridget Anderson, daughter Samantha matches wits with a cunning impostor set on deceiving his wealthy fiancee and her unsuspecting family. In the final installment, "Redemption" Shelby Lewis delves into the world of an unstable serial murderer as the oldest daughter Morgan, desperate to stop a killer, finds herself in the midst of a whodunit which may ultimately end up uncovering long dormant family secrets. These prolific writers have pooled their sizable talents to generate an absorbing anthology of mystery and adventure. Each of the stories is pretty solid for the most part with a nice blend of suspense and intrigue and as in the case of Curtains, a welcome dash of romance. With believable characters and an engaging storyline, WHERE THERE IS A WILL is an enjoyable read with remarkable appeal. (...)
