The Case of the Locked Drawer By Larry Winebrenner

Summary

Reviewer Name : wmyrral Think about your greatgrandmother as a sleuth. You know how witty she is. You have no doubts that she is wise enough¬¬¬and active enough¬¬¬to solve crimes, even if she is wheelchair bound. She is curious enough to dig up needed information on her computer. Yeah, she uses that computer for more than playing solitaire. She is so effective that the world knows her as Henri Derringer, believing that she is a foreign male detective in his 30s or 40s. OK, so maybe she isn't your greatgrandmother. But you feel akin to her as she walks¬¬¬oops, rides¬¬¬ through crimes that law enforcement agencies stumble over. And she is not alone. Aside from her 96¬year¬old husband¬¬¬Randy¬¬-and her granddaughter supporting her, she has two FBI¬trained private investigators assigned to watch over her. If they can keep up with her. Throw in an international assassin that wants her dead and you have a cozy mystery that threatens to break out of its coziness. The only character in the novel with any hope of keeping up with Etta [that's her real name] is Mephistopheles, and he's just a talking computer. This is a lively story with more twists than the proverbial pretzel, and more mysteries than one to solve. The Case of the locked Drawer is the initial book in a series that is already gathering support from discriminating mystery fans. The Case of the Locked Apartment, a classical locked room mystery is the second in the series.
