Dear Readers,
Nell Pratt has been appointed to the position of President of the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society in Philadelphia. She definitely has her hands full trying to hire a new staff and learn the duties of her job but, reluctantly agrees to attend a preview of the new Harriet the Hedgehog book series exhibit at the local children's museum.
While there, one of the installers of the exhibit receives a severe electrical shock. He recovers, but then a second employee is electrocuted and sadly, he passes away and the crime becomes a homicide. Nell ends up in the middle of the investigation most of all because she is a good friend of the museum's president, and also because of a budding romance with FBI Special Agent James Morrison, who is called in to investigate the crime. In her search for a motive behind the apparent sabotage of the exhibit, Nell soon discovers many secrets among those involved that could make any one of them suspects.
An extremely good cozy. The storyline was interesting for you don't often get murder by electricity in a light and entertaining cozy. I would certainly like to read the next installment of this new series.
Mary
