Format:Mass Market Paperback
When Nora Blackbird is informed that the wife of her college sweetheart committed suicide by drowning herslef in the family pool she feels an overwhelming sense of de ja vu. She knows that Laura did not commit suicide and that somehow she is going to be forced to investigate this murder on her own once again. Laura who Nora had just spent time with the night before her death was having trouble in her marriage and was trying to recreate herslef by trying to look exactally like her husbands first love, Nora Blackbird. Being that she and Laura openly argued at a party the night before Nora knows that her name will soon appear on the suspect list and she therefore must try to solve this before she becomes the no. 1 suspect! To complicate matters Laura was known around town as the local jewel thief and had countless enemies all of whom are suspects in Nora's eyes.

Nancy Martin once again charms us with a lighthearted and fun look into the lives of the hilarious Blackbird sisters and produces a mystery that never takes itself too seriously and is very entertaining. I thouroughly enjoy this series and hope that we see much more of the Blackbird sisters in the future!

No Sophmore Slump Here!!! 13 Aug 2003
By PadreRat - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Nancy Martin's second book in the Blackbird series is another winner. We pick up the story the next fall. Libby is close to her due date, Emma has decided to buy a horse and train herself, and Nora gets involved in another murder.

At a celebration party for Oliver Cooper (He was nominated for the next Department of Transportation Secretary), Nora runs into her college boyfriend, Flan Cooper. After an innocent private talk, Flan's wife, Laura, finds them and thinks the worst. Nora talks to Laura and finds out she and Flan are having trouble. During their conversation, Nora notices that Laura has changed her appearance to resemble her. Nora's talk to Laura ends with the understanding that Nora is not interested in Flan any longer.

The next day, Emma tells Nora that Laura was found dead...an apparent suicide. Flan asks Nora for help; since he can't image his wife would kill herself and realized that he is the prime suspect. Nora starts to snoop around and gets a picture of Laura that she can't believe. Laura is known with the estate crowd as a jewelry thief.

There is a new cast of supporting characters, which give this book a different flavor than the last. They are still eccentric so you'll be entertained. Michael is around and ends up helping Nora with her mad capers.

This was a great second story with a stronger mystery than the first novel. I can't wait for the next story.

Philadelphia Society Cozy Mystery Series 26 Jan 2004
By --corinne-- - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Nancy Martin's second installment to her Blackbird Sisters cozy mystery series, newly-minted society columnist & middle red-headed Blackbird sister Nora attends the party anticipating the appointment of her old college beau's father as the next Secretary of the Department of Transportation. The plot thickens when a body is found in their koi pool the next day.
In my opinion, "Dead Girls" read more quickly than the first Blackbird Sister mystery "How to Murder a Millionaire."
I looove the knowledge and references to Philadelphia high society rules and parties in this series. The sister's characterizations are nuanced; Mafia don's prodigal son Michael Abruzzo sizzles as Nora's on-again, off-again romantic interest. This is a fun, light-hearted romp through Philadelphia social soirees. Nancy Martin's series is as much fun as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Highly recommended.

the perfect bright and light summer read 8 July 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I haven't had this much fun since Martin's last mystery, How to Murder a Millionaire. Her newest frothy concoction, Dead Girls Don't Wear Diamonds, features the same delightful heroine, Nora Blackbird, the high-society amateur detective whose wit and charm make her everyone's ideal best friend.
There's also a suspenseful mystery, a gallery of colorful, sharply drawn supporting characters and a wealth of hilariously wicked social observations. All in all, the ideal light and fun summer read.
