When Grace Dilworth, newly liberated following the death of her domineering father, returns from a cruise with a handsome young "art expert" in tow, tongues in stuffy Wingate, Connecticut, wag. And when the young man is found impaled on the spears of the sculpture he and Grace have installed in the former rose garden of the Dilworth Arts and Crafts Center in A Dying Fall, septuagenarian Lucy Ramsdale and retired Inspector James McDougal must sort it out. Lucy is entertaining as an amateur detective, but a little of her goes a long way. Grade: B.
Lucy is at it again in Please Omit Funeral. She's invited an old friend, actress Alison Moffat, for the weekend and the two of them attend a party at the home of author Lawrence Dilman, renowned for his scandalous novel, Wayward The World, which has recently been the victim of a book burning by the self-appointed local morals guardian Georgina Hampter. The party is rife with people who would like to murder Dilman, so it's not a surprise when someone does. Grade: B.
