This was my first adventure with Claire, but I found myself enjoying the dialogue, the mindset, and the whimsical nature of this novel. Claire, an amatuer sleuth, and her daughter, go to visit her dead husband's family and quickly find themselves in a scene that is not-far-removed from the Addams family. One cousin is a long-haired pot smoker that never removes his sunglassess or ipod headphones, another is a cackling old grandmother who runs her motorized wheelchair like it belonged in a NASCAR race. Every wacky character has a major foible in this novel which reminded me of the old mystery movies like Charlie Chan, etc. DOWN to the last meeting where Claire reveals the identity of the murderer, how it was done, and how she eliminated the others. This was a really good book and very enjoyable. I don't even know where I got this one.. but it was good!
