DEATH ON A SILVER PLATTER
By: Ellen Hart
From the award-winning author of "Dial M for Meatloaf" comes the seventh murder mystery starring food critic and hotelier Sophie Greenway.
Once again Sophie's old friends are dropping like flies. Many years before Carl Veelund had died not long after he built the grand mansion, Prairie Lodge. His wife Millie still lives there. She runs the family business along with their oldest Alex and their daughter Elaine. Their son Danny lives in Minneapolis and is a writer. He comes out for the family board meetings.
Sophie, restaurant reviewer, and her husband Bram, radio persanlity, own the Maxfield Plaza and live in an apartment in the hotel. Her parents sold it to them for $1 when they retired. Now her parents are on a world tour.
Bram's daughter, Margie, comes back to Minneapolis and Bram sets her up in an apartment at the Maxfield. At first Sophie is fine with this until Margie begins getting under her skin.
Sophie goes to visit Elaine to discuss the log houses her family's company builds. They have several models on the Veelund property. Sophie's dad wants to build one on Pokegama Lake when they return. Bram talks Sophie into taking Margie with her. Turns out Margie knows Tracy's new boyfriend Mick.
One night Tracy goes missing and Millie dies. What is going on with this family? They are all full of secrets and more are to come.
Sophie discovers an old diary of her mother's. It puts her into the center of the tragedies of the Veelund family. Could one of these people be a murderer?
Sophie always finds herself in interesting circumstances. Many of her old friends have secrets and end up dying. I'd hate to be one of her old friends. But the characters are fully developed and the settings are great. Who knew Minnesota was such a great setting for mysteries?
I always enjoy getting to know all the characters in her books. They are fully described, and I don't have trouble keeping them straight. She puts lots of twists and turns and many secrets in her books. It makes it almost impossible to figure out the killer ahead of time.
I highly recommend this book and that you read this whole series. I find once I start one, I can't put it down.
