Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Travel writer and romance novelist Robin Miller is estranged from her lover, investigative writer Mary Oswell. Suddenly, shockingly, Mary is dead. Accidental death - maybe even suicide - from allergic shock, says case Detective Thomas Ryan. Impossible, insists Robin.
Robin's own investigation uncovers one mystery after another. A lethal medication prescribed for an imposter. A secret assignment that Mary was working on. A sleazy politico acting as Mary's attorney. A "pavement princess" named Selma. And Mary's surprising liaisons with other women in her life apart from Robin.
As she follows a trail of painful memory into the gay community in San Francisco and down the coast to Mary's house on the cliffs of beautiful Big Sur, Robin finds distraction from her grief in the alluring and enigmatic Cathy. But Cathy has a secret of her own...
And as Robin draws even closer to determining the real truth of Mary's final days, her own life becomes increasingly at risk...
You will enjoy this intelligent, sharply witty mystery, the debut of an exciting mystery writing talent. The first Robin Miller Mystery - can't wait to read the next!
Update 2011: This is still one of my absolute favourite series and for once a (or rather 7...) book(s) I would happily re-read.

WOW
28 Nov 2004
Format:Paperback
I don't generally like mysteries, but I fell in love with this book on the first page. I couldn't put it down and read the entire story in one evening. (I'm never really sure how authors feel when they've worked for months on a book, only to have it read in a few short hours!) This is a well-written book with a consistent story line. There is just the right balance of emphasis on the mystery and the underlying love story. This book was first published 13 years ago and I'm sorry it has taken me this long to find it. Highly recommended - am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
