Murder at the Second Lily Pond

Murder at the Second Lily Pond is an entertaining read on a coast-to-coast flight.

Sadie Weinstein, cute, zany, and the most unlikely sleuth imaginable gets a call in her grocery in Brooklyn from her son, Jeffrey, a student at Oxford, that he has been arrested for the murder of his archaeology don. After she shlepps to Oxford, along with her husband, Nathan, to free her son, she gets involved in a flirtation with Sir Donald Ward, Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, is accused of murder, adopts a cat she names Inspector Ebony, and sets a fire, all in the name of the investigative process.
