Then the first body is found… Praise for the first two books in this series: A wonderful read. O'Boyle deftly weaves an intriguing plot with rich details of 1920s San Francisco. Flora and Evelyn make a funny, delightful amateur team, investigating the death of a local young woman when police fail to act.Terry Shames, Award-winning author of Murder at the Jubilee Rally I was thrilled to unravel the puzzling path of A Preposterous Alibi set in the jazz age. The adventurous spirit of Flora and Evelyn kept me glued to the end to find what was preposterous! Well-written, as all of her books so far, I'm looking forward to the next one!Billie R. Hamilton A stunner plot! Cherie O'Boyle's book is aptly named An Unforeseen Motive. The motive for this murder is really buried. Evelyn & Flora once again put clues together without much help from authorities. Bit dicey for two women(amateur sleuths)from the 30's to step into labor unrest & lackadaisical law enforcement but Winslow & Fitzgerald delight & surprise you with their San Francisco lifestyle & their playful escapades. Always on task & willing to risk safety for justice.Reader Carole
