Reseña del libro "Murder on the Bluffs (en Inglés)"
In the second Lauren Rousseau Mystery by Agatha Award-winning author Edith Maxwell, a grisly murder stirs up long-buried secrets surrounding the disappearance and death of Lauren's father . . . As a bitter controversy rages over a secretive local land trust in her small New England town, linguistics professor Lauren Rousseau is not wholly surprised when she stumbles upon the dead body of one of the trust's key members, his throat neatly slit from ear to ear. The only question is which of the many potential suspects is capable of so violent an act. But then the bluffs where she discovered the victim yield a shocking clue, one that may lead to the killer-and may be tied to her own father's mysterious disappearance more than a decade before. As Lauren begins looking for answers to both mysteries among her fellow townspeople and even members of her own family, long-hidden secrets begin to emerge about the victim's volatile sister, corruption at the heart of the land trust, and even about her father's life. And as surprising revelations begin to mount, along with threats to her own life, Lauren knows she must pursue the cases to the very end-no matter how disturbing the solutions may be . . . This book was originally published as Bluffing Is Murder under the name Tace Baker.
