Synopsis: Two murders lead NYC detective Nathan Shapiro out of the city and into the country in this mystery from the authors of the &“excellent&” Mr. and Mrs. North series (The New Yorker). Nathan Shapiro might be the gloomiest member of Manhattan&’s finest, but that doesn&’t stop the dour detective from getting the job done when the going gets tough . . . Lois Williams of Glenville, Connecticut, is going about her business when she&’s abruptly asked to bear witness to the signing of a wealthy elderly woman&’s will. She is just as quickly rushed out, and is disturbed when she learns that Abigail Montfort died less than thirty minutes after her departure. Lois can&’t get the strange incident out of her head and confides her suspicions in newspaperman Bob Oliver, who agrees that something strange is afoot. As they investigate a young woman who may have been posing as Abigail Montfort, their search takes them to New York City and into the path of Det. Nathan Shapiro. While Shapiro doesn&’t much like leaving Manhattan, a mugging death in town seems to be linked to the old woman&’s death in the country. Soon, he finds himself chasing leads with the two amateur sleuths—and what they discover is a mystery that belongs on the front page . . . Murder and Blueberry Pie is the 2nd book in the Nathan Shapiro Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
