Rating: Summary: SO MUCH MORE THAN A MYSTERY Review: The Parcel Express Murders is an action packed story filled with twists, turns and spirited characters. Set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a prominent business man and his mistress are murdered after a swank party and Detectives Hawkins and Clark are charged with solving the crime. As they investigate the seemingly unsolvable felony, the body count mounts. And the widow of the deceased sets her sights on Detective Clark as he tries to start a romance with the aloof Dr. Somoa Tate. Somoa is a psychiatrist and the best friend of Detective Hall Hawkins� wife, Christine.

Each character is presented richly, interspersed with the storyline and their relationships to each other.As the story progresses, readers will try to guess who the murderer is and will undoubtedly be surprised by the outcome. Bernadette Connor weaves an intense story that comes together perfectly in the end. The mystery is an added attraction in this book, as readers will enjoy the camaraderie of the four main characters as well as the life issues that each one confronts during the course of the tale.
