Milwaukee Winters Can Be Murder (Avalon Mystery)

Rating:
Summary: Great read, welcome a great new mystery series!
Review: I used to work in a public library so that's where I first saw this book. I was intrigued because I had once lived in Milwaukee, and yes, the winters there can indeed be "murder"! Beth Hartley, our protagonist, has quit her law firm to start her own business. She takes her secretary with her and they work out of this wonderful historical home that Beth's aunt has left to her. In "Milwaukee Winters" the secretary's brother has apparantely commited suicide but they find that hard to believe. Beth sets out to prove that he did not kill himself, and suceeds, but WHO did kill him? There is a hint of romance in the story as well. The character of Beth is very likeable, independent like "Kinsey Milhone" and the setting of Milwaukee is very real. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought copies for my relatives who also live(d) in Milwaukee. I have also read the other books in the series, and anxiousely await more!
