Charlotte has packed her bags and is ready to leave the Midwest for Aspen to spend the holidays with her daughter Ellis. Unfortunately, death has other ideas. She discovers the body of charistmatic Dr. Garibaldi in his laboratory, which is missing a lot of plants that look an awful lot like marijuana. Charlotte's particular investigative skills are once again enlisted by Detective Barnes, and she literally unearths many possible motives for the murder of the promiscuous prof, most of which point to his wife Janice. Romantic complications abound since Charlotte's first appearance in An Uncollected Death. In the course of worrying about one absent beau, she surprises herself—and everyone else—by falling deeply in love with one of the other characters from that chapter in her life. It's a relationship that brings her new insight, both as a woman and as a sleuth. Charlotte's investigation of the murder not only reveals the connected history of town and gown, but the intertwining relationships between husbands and wives, friends and lovers, parents and children, past and present—and what she learns puts herself and her friends in peril. An Unexamined Wife is the second novel in the Charlotte Anthony series. An Uncollected Death is the first Charlotte Anthony novel also available for Kindle: amazon.com/An-Uncollected-Death-Charl...
