Cirak's Daughter Kindle Edition

by Charlotte MacLeod (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 61 ratings
A young woman investigates the death of her wealthy, estranged father in a small Rhode Island town in this novel by the author of the Peter Shandy Mysteries.

Murder can happen anywhere, even in sleepy Meldrum, Rhode Island. And while the town’s old-money families may prefer to sweep such unseemliness under their Oriental rugs, its newest resident can think of nothing else. Nineteen-year-old Jenny Cirak has moved into the house her father, a once-famous movie producer, willed to her. She’s also using an assumed name, just like he did when he lived—and died—in Meldrum. But why did he leave a fortune to the child he abandoned . . . and what really killed him?
 
Hoping to make sense of the father she never knew, Jenny must get to know his neighbors and expose their secrets and feuds. Somewhere among this cast of characters, which includes a retired corporate accountant from Baltimore who shows up on her doorstep with a clue, is a person who knows the truth—and will do anything to keep Cirak’s daughter from uncovering it.
 
From the acclaimed author of the Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn series and other popular mysteries, this is a twisting tale of small-town secrets and suspense.

In Rest You Merry (1978), MacLeod introduced Professor Peter Shandy, a horticulturist and amateur sleuth whose adventures she would chronicle for two decades. The Family Vault (1979) marked the first appearance of her other best-known characters: the husband and wife sleuthing team Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn, whom she followed until her last novel, The Balloon Man, in 1998.

    It was a good enough read, but the characters weren't compelling or the mystery so intriguing.It didn't compare well with her earlier mysteries.

    Pretty awful. Not up to Charlotte MacLeod's usual standard. I guess this was written early in her career. It's more a cheesy romance story than anything else.

    Cirak’s Daughter by Charlotte MacLeod

    Synopsis

    Nineteen year old Jenny Cirak has moved into her DAd’s house under an assumed name. However, she didn’t really know her Dad, which is one of the reasons she has moved to Meldrum, Rhode Island to figure out her Dad. Why did he leave her everything ? Why is he dead?

    Unfortunately one person does not want her to know the answers to these questions.

    I do like Charlotte MacLeod as an author. I had thought it would be a little better, but I can’t say it was bad. I think you should read it an decide for yourself.
