False Mermaid


This wonderful third mystery from Erin Hart features our heroine Nora Gavin, who returns to her home in Saint Paul, Minnesota, to solve a murder. The victim is not found in a bog this time, but in the trunk of a car. Luckily Nora does spend some time in Ireland with Cormac, so there are lovely descriptions of the Donegal countryside. But there are also descriptions of places right here in Saint Paul, including the Central Library downtown. Sadly, one of the characters gets hit by a car as he is crossing Shepard Road. In spite of this setback, Nora is able to solve the mystery of who killed the murder victim. And the reader is able to learn more about Nora and Cormac and their respective family dynamics.--Barb P.
