This is the second mystery in the 'Arthur Beautyman' series, following 'The Saints Go Dying'. In 'Saints', Arthur is disgraced and forced to resign as an LA deputy sheriff; in 'Marinara', he has moved into his Mother's basement in Minneapolis.
Problem is, his Mother wants him to be a detective and solve a mystery for her bridge partner. Although he resists as long as he can, he is eventually pulled in. Next problem: Mom wants to be his partner. He resists that too, but to no avail. And Mom is instrumental in solving the case. Arthur doesn't have a chance!
A very enjoyable read, and I look forward to more Arthur Beautyman cases.
244 pages.
