Description de l’éditeur
When the rich and glamorous Clara von Hohenkammer collapses dead at a dinner party, Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders is called in to lead the investigation. With a house full of guests to interview, Sanders’s investigation is complicated by the fact that one of the witnesses is Harriet Jeffries—the architectural photographer Sanders is romantically involved with.
As the investigation turns towards those closest to the victim—her daughters and nephew—Sanders and Jeffries find themselves drawn into a world of radical politics and high-stakes theft. And with a killer still on the loose, the pair must solve Clara’s murder before becoming targets themselves.
Praise for Medora Sale
Murder in a Good Cause is the third novel in the John Sanders/Harriet Jeffries mystery series.
“Another offbeat case for Toronto’s gruff, overworked Homicide Inspector John Sanders. . . . Solid, nicely plotted and written.”—Kirkus Reviews
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Shortly before wealthy, demanding actress Clara von Hohenkammer keels over at an unexpectedly dramatic reading in her Toronto home, she argues with nearly all of her avaricious clan, her odious business manager and a few untrustworthy retainers. The murder weapon is cyanide-laced tisane. Sale ( Murder in Focus ) brings back the rather irritable romantic duo of homicide inspector John Sanders and freelance photographer Harriet Jeffries, who, as a guest at the victim's fatal soiree and a reluctant confidante of her mixed-up daughter Nikki, is admirably placed to investigate. Meantime, a group of Basque separatists are stealing from the rich and casually killing anyone in its way. Sanders and Jeffries bicker repeatedly, then kiss and make up, occasionally taking time out to sleuth. This very basic whodunit wraps up events much too conveniently.
