Who's Dead?Ingrid Beaumont, flaky but prolific songwriter for B-movie soundtracks, attends her Denver high school reunion for a wild night of fun and good times. However, the morning-after hangover proves sobering indeed when the news of the murder of Wylie Jamestone, a popular local artist and genuine creep, reaches the ears of his classmates. He leaves a mile-long list of enemies and a challenge for Ingrid to find his killer.
Ingrid accepts the challenge, trying to fit together the pieces of Wylie Jamestone's scandal-ridden life to find out whom he finally pushed too far. With the help of a large, lovable dog Hitchcock, Ingrid manages to pull together a few theories that are obviously catching the notice of a killer determined to make sure that neither they-nor Ingrid herself--see the light of day.

It's OK if you don't mind a totally stupid "heroine" who gets herself into all sorts of unnecessary trouble while wise cracking all the time. Actually some of the jokes are good, but the story was a disappointment.
This protagonist is a "60's" character. I didn't like her enough to make the book a good read for me, but loaned it to my niece and she loved it, so it has more appeal to a baby boomer than a senior citizen.

Kathy D. from FARMINGTON, NM wrote on 3/25/2007...I enjoyed this book.
A 30 year high school reunion, memories of a dreadful accident, and Viet Nam. Lots of references to that period which are light. Not as depressing as the subject matter would indicate.
Dee R. from WILLIAMSBURG, WV wrote on 5/30/2006...Great mystery made even better by the help of her large, lovable dog, Hitchcock.
Lots of fun; great read!
Lisa S. from QUINTON, AL wrote on 4/2/2006...I liked it. Good cozy mystery.
I rated this book a '5' because it was a '1' for plot but a '10' for the setting, which was Colorado Springs! If the book hadn't have taken place in Colorado Springs, I probably would have put it down right away. The mystery was enjoyable but it seemed like the author recycled a lot of the same lines and jokes throughout the book. Nevertheless, I will be seeking out more of this author's work. :)
