Death at Charity's Point (Missing Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining enough, ultimately forgettable
Review: The story starts well. Brady Coyne is a very likeable character, as is his client-- the irascable Florence Gresham. The seeming suicide of George seems open-and-shut, but Florence keeps the pressure on Brady to come up with an answer other than suicide. The plot wanders a bit too much for me, with too many characters and details, and some unfortunately rather predictable elements.

Rating:
Summary: A terrific tale spun from fact and fiction
Review: This re-release of the first Brady Coyne novel is certainly welcome. From the get-go, Tapply spins a thrilling yarn that's the very best kind of fact-based fiction. Even if he doesn't want to be one, Brady makes a heck of fine detective. A keeper, for sure. Check out the new intro that Tapply wrote specifically for this editon.
