Synopsis

Constance Leidl and Charlie Meiklejohn are an unlikely pair of detectives. He is a former arson detective; she is a psychologist. Together, the husbandandwife team has a knack for unraveling a mystery. Seven Kinds of Death is a famous sculpture, but the name takes on new meaning when bodies start turning up at the creator's art colony. A party launching the art tour of an old friend and the opening of her husbands condominiums turns tragic when the sculptures are vandalized and one of the guests, a highly regarded artmagazine editor, is found strangled in one of the new condos. Charlie and Constance interview some of the guests and learn there has already been another death at the condo site, viewed at the time as an accident. Connecting the two deaths leads the two sleuths to an unexpected suspect.

I loved the relationship between Constance and Charlie. I would have put the book down if not for them. The rest of the plot line had been done before and not very memorable.......more

The occult winds its nefarious way into all sorts of things. Wilhelm brings it into a murder mystery. Good read.......more
