Hy Conrad is famous for many things, including writing episodes of the hit detective television series "Mr. Monk" (That I'm a huge fan of), and some of the Mr. Monk mystery books. He's also written the "Amy's Travel Mystery" series. Recently I enjoyed "Dearly Departed," in that series and recommend it!
Hy created great characters in Amy, her boyfriend Marcus, and her mother. Together the three of them get involved in mysteries. In this book, a maid who inherited a fortune has passed, but she had been a confidant of various previous employers. When another dead body shows up, the mystery deepens, and Amy has to figure out which of the maid's former employers who attended her round-the-world remembrance services had motive to kill. The book kept you guessing and the characters came to life!
Highly recommended! I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series!
Fanny and May Abel, the dynamic mother-and-daughter owners of a NYC travel agency, have just booked their biggest trip yet. But with danger in the air, the itinerary may include murder…
Paisley MacGregor, a maid to the rich, made a dying request to send all of her wealthy employers on a first-class wake to spread her ashes around the world. Amy has her suspicions about these “mourners,” especially when one has a life-threatening “accident” at the first stop in Paris. And when a mysterious American stranger tagging along with the group has his ticket punched in the shadow of the Taj Mahal, Amy knows she may have a killer on her tour.
Who was this stranger, and what’s the connection to someone in her group? Digging for clues while continuing on with the trip is a lot for Amy to manage, especially, when another mourner has a possibly fatal encounter with a Hawaiian volcano. Back in the States, Fanny and Amy start to piece together a secret worth killing for, but someone is hot on their trail, and ready to send them on a one-way trip — to the morgue!
