I read the blurb and the first page and decided to buy if for 50 cents. After I read it, I was sorry, I hadn&#8217;t picked up the other two titles in the series. And looking Gretchen up online, I discovered that she died suddenly around 2004 and that was the end of her mysteries. That&#8217;s a lesson to all authors&#8211;WRITE FAST. None of us know how many books we will be able to finish. (I am taking my own advice. \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>ANYWAY- back to the book&#8211;I loved Martha Patterson, the amateur sleuth. I&#8217;ve never been to NYC but she made me comfortable in Greenwich Village, Her Village as she terms it. She drew me in with artful and convincing characters&#8211;all angry at the coop board &#8211;in the midst of one of those infrequent heat waves&#8211;THE AIR-CON broken at the worst of wrong times.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Then the head of the coop board is found dead in the apt next to Martha&#8217;s. And everyone wants to confide something in Martha&#8211;a calm, efficient retired lawyer. And of course, Martha discovers who the murderer is.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>I like the steady pace of the mystery&#8211;not too fast, not too slow. And the tension was to my taste. I&#8217;m not into thrillers but I enjoy an interesting mystery with a competent sleuth with a supporting cast of intriguing suspects. Well done, Gretchen. Sorry we lost you too soon&#8211;Lyn Cote<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/689372-lyn\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"border-top-left-radius: 2px;
