Cul-de-Sac: A Rebecca Schwartz Mystery Short Story

A ROOMMATE SEARCH TURNS DARKâ€¦
When Julie Smithâ€™s much-loved lawyer sleuth, Rebecca Schwartz, helps a friend move, sheâ€™s pretty surprised to find the new roommate digging a grave. This mystery short storyâ€™s a bit darker than most of Rebeccaâ€™s adventures, although the irrepressible San Francisco lawyer manages to keep her famous sense of humor.

A great introduction for those who havenâ€™t yet read Rebecca, introduced the same year as Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshawski, but a completely different brand of female sleuthâ€”a bit less super-human, weâ€™re afraid. Rebeccaâ€™s loveable for her very bumbling human-ness rather than her super-powers.

At the time, she was a bit hard-boiled, but mysteries with female sleuths have changed so much her humorous adventures could now be considered on the cozy side. (Except for the sometimes-un-cozy language. A warning to readers offended by suchâ€”stick fingers firmly in ears!)
