Sweet Essence of Murder

Rating:
Summary: A Fun, Quick Read Reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace
Review: Sweet Essence of Murder, Hortense and Phoebe, is a fun, quick read reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace. The partnering of two noted mystery writers unexpectedly thrust into exploring a real life murder mystery is an exciting, fun romp. It has exciting twists and turns leading to a surprising conclusion. Sweet Essence of Murder is also a compendium of Nelsen's work, since she adds a dark yet light murder mystery within her book entitled Holly and Arlene. Sweet Essence of Murder would also be a good "summer read."
