About this title

From the Inside Flap:

husbands have a habit of dying. But New York City P.I. Gwenn Ramadge refuses to believe her lovely client killed her latest spouse -- and sets out to prove it despite mounting evidence to the contrary. There are a few tantalizing loose ends: a greedy stepson, shaky business deals, and other women whose lives are somehow connected to the dead man.

So Gwenn begins to snoop around a wealthy middle-class enclave in Queens, not far from where, thirty years ago, neighbors calmly watched the brutal murder of Kitty Genovese. It is now a safe and sheltered place whose green lawns and large homes belie the lives of the people who own them.

The perfect spot for murder...

"The second appearance of New York P.I. Gwenn Ramadge confirms the propitious launch, in A Wreath for the Bride, of veteran mystery writer O'Donnell's newest series...The kind-hearted, tough female P.I. resolves the tale with a neat twist." -- Publishers Weekly
