Summary: Cassandra Swann solves her father's murder at last.
Review: Susan Moody has developed the character, Cassandra Swann, much farther than she was able to in her previous work, "Grand Slam". Swann discovers just how much the murder of her beloved father, Handsome Harry Swann, has affected her attitude about everything in life, particularly men. While busy teaching bridge, she juggles solving the murder of an Indian neighbor of her business partner; the apparent dissolution of her affair with handsome police detective Walsh; the intriguing liaison with an appealing young author; and the delightful if heavy-handed romantic forays of Charles Quartermain around the need to discover the truth about her father's death. This is a "can't put it down" book and a giant leap forward in the series
