Synopsis

Vera Van Alst, the infamous curmudgeon of Harrison Falls, New York, doesn’t normally receive visitors without appointment, but she agrees to see the imperious Muriel Delgado upon arrival. Shortly thereafter, Jordan is told that her position is being terminated. Evicted from the Van Alst House, Jordan is determined to find out what hold Muriel has over her erstwhile employer.

It seems Muriel has designs on Vera’s money and property—not to mention a particular interest in her collection of Nero Wolfe first editions. When Jordan discovers a deadly connection between Muriel and the Van Alst family, it’s up to her to put the house in order and stop a killer from going back to press.

Goodreads review by Andree on August 26, 2018

You really can't expect plausibility with this series. This installment wasn't my favourite, mainly because Jordan does very little that is book-related in this thing, due to her having lost her job thanks to a scheming half-sibling of Vera's. Also, all her friends go awol at around the same time, s......more
