An entertaining book. Lightweight like so many mysteries: the
characters are interesting and developed well.
I am a little tired of the family connection aspect of the mysteries
since this is the second of three in a row where the author has needed to have the
hero have a personal connection to the crime.
The female lead is an attorney, but has an attitude that is slightly
edgier than the Kinsey Milhone character of Sue Grafton. The problem is that I am still trying to
figure out the reason for the toss of a camera to the heroine that begins the
book – it makes the story, but I am not sure it stands up.
The book has a good number of errant leads and give and take conversations.
Jackie Swaitkowski investigates the death of a female pilot who had a family tree filled with ex-cons and a passenger list packed with Hamptons high society. Just before Eugenie Conklin's plane took a nosedive, she tossed out a camera case that held an unusual set of photos. While defending Eugenie's husband during the accident investigation, Jackie realizes that she recognizes more than a few of the faces in those pictures. They may be able to prove her client's innocence, but Jackie soon learns that to find the answer to Eugenie's death will mean uncovering a mystery from her own family's past as well. (audible.com)
