This is #6 in Nancy Martin's wonderful Blackbird Sisters series. I have thoroughly enjoyed each of these books, and "Have Your Cake and Kill Him Too" is no exception.

The combination of Main-Line, old-money, Philadelpia families and goings-on with the recently impoverished 3 Blackbird sisters - each with their own quirks and foibles is an addictive mix. Nora, the protagonist, is a both fragile and strong survivor; who faints upon seeing a dead body - however, seems to stumble over an inordinate number of them.

Very funny, acerbic and enjoyable.

Another clever cozy mystery by Nancy Martin. Nora is in the early stages of pregnancy and she is pretty sure who the father of her child is. She is to meet a friend at the Finch Farm and finds security guards not allowing any access inside the home. Zell Orcutt is found in the garden with an arrow in his back and there are just too many suspects. Nora gets involved only to clear her friend, Delilah, and learns the sordid truth about Zell. Nora also discovers the Richard D'eath's true motives in his pursuit of her. As usual, the book is a lovely combination of romance and mystery and humor on top!
