Rating: Summary: Really the best!! Review: This really is the best book in the series. I do so enjoy the Fremont Jones books and I was very sorry to hear that this is the last one. I just started the series at the beginning of the this year and I have read all of them at least twice. Beacon Street Mourning is a wonderful addition to this collection. Get them while you can!!
Rating: Summary: Finest entry in the Fremont Jones series Review: Those readers who love Fremont Jones mysteries because of the San Francisco setting might be a bit disappointed with this fifth book in the series because it is set in Fremont's home town, Boston. But, I suspect they won't be disappointed for long because this is one of the best (if not the best) crafted mysteries Day has written so far. The twists of the plot are much more compelling and I liked the way in which the book brought the Boston period of Fremont's life to a sad conclusion..Despite its Boston setting the book does include Michael Archer, Fremont's partner and lover, but he appears infrequently in this book as Fremont Jones reconnects with her father, loses him tragically, and solves the mystery of his death. Fans of Day's earlier works will like this one, too, but if you are new to the series I suggest you begin at the beginning (The Strange Files of Fremont Jones) to fully understand the book.
