In “And All that Madness” by Joan Merrill mystery will keep you reading until you know the answers Casey McKie is looking to solve.
When a New York Jazz society uncovers a fifty-year-old letter that was written by Georgia Valentine. Georgia was a legendary vocalist's whose death was thought to be a heroin overdose. Casey is intrigued by her friend Dee's excitement as to whether this was a suicide or a murder.
Joan grabs you within the first few chapters. She makes you want to follow along as Casey travels to the dark corners of New York . Casey takes her investigation from San Francisco to investigate this cold case which has laid dormant for over 50 years. Jazz musicians, a drug dealer, a mafia boss, her widower, a Broadway actress, not to mention the investigators that deemed her death as a suicide. Casey allows you to travel along with her while she interviews many suspects. If that is not enough you will be able to enjoy a relationship building in the wings while the the case continues to build momentum.
Who will YOU think did it? While you wait for the ending you will enjoy all 237 pages in this great mystery and suspense book. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good mystery along with a building relationship.
