Book Review of Girl With The Phony Name

Girl With The Phony Name
rxkicker avatar reviewed Cozy mystery with whodunit, who-is-he, who-is-she, and multiple twists on + 71 more book reviews


Motel reviewer Lucy gets laid off, then -- through improbable circumstances (but, hey, it's fiction) -- gets a job in a suburban funeral home. She is an orphan with only one clue about her background: a brooch. After constant searching, she finds her father. (And, as always in a mystery, we have to wonder... But is he really????) Multiple plot twists and a happy ending. Interesting minor background information about funeral homes.
I hoped this was the first in a series. Apparently it is a stand-alone. I read that this author's protagonists are young ladies who have to discover something about their pasts.
