Intriguing!

5 / 5
Ewing's mystery is very easy to read - chapters are short enough to fit into even the busiest schedule. However, by two-thirds of the way through, the story is so intirguing and moving so quickly that it is very difficult to put the book down. How soon can I get the next Marlow O'Kelley mystery?
INTRIGUING PAGE TURNER, HARD TO PUT DOWN

PB- ISBN 0-7388-9969-0 Intrigue At NASA With a sure sense of place, Barbara Ewing immediately immerses the reader in interesting details of Johnson Space Center. The plot revolves around Marlow O'Kelley, a structural engineer, who has been married only six months when her beloved Pete, an astronaut, is killed in a motorcycle accident. Or was it an accident? Pete's boss, Harry, reveals to Marlow his suspicions that Pete could have been murdered. The next day Harry is murdered. When bodies with connections to the space center begin to turn up on picnic tables and in training pools. Everyone offers Marlow a different perception of Pete and to her utter confusion, Marlow feels her trust in Pete slipping away. Subplots and red herrings abound as the reader tries to untangle the cast of characters that seem bent on leading everyone astray. While Marlowe analyzes three murders, the reader goes along for the ride. Rich in sensory detail from the fishy, salty air of the bays to the tangy gumbo - even the spicy politics of the Clear Lake area, the settings give the reader the illusion of being there. Fast-paced Till Murder Do Us Part teases our brain and pulls us into the mystery, revealing no answers until the end.
