From Publishers Weekly:
This pleasantly updated but still old-fashioned cozy stars retired radio personality Lavina London, who, introduced in the paperback original Grave Undertaking, here makes her hardcover debut. Henry Blaine, star with his late wife of a 1940s radio soap opera, is found dead in his Catskills home after throwing a farewell bash celebrating his upcoming move to Canada. Lavina proves it was murder and sets out for New York City for clues among the many old radio figures who had attended the party. There is no shortage of suspects, for Henry, whose son Garrett is short of funds, was little loved and not above blackmail. In Manhattan, another radio player is killed and Lavina nearly loses her own life, before the redoubtable sleuth uncovers the secret behind the murders. Reaching into the long-ago era when radio was king, McCahery creates a sympathetic detective of a certain age in this diverting, if undemanding, mystery.

A pair of seven-year-olds start this mystery rolling when they tell series sleuth Lavina London about "ghosts" in a neighbor's house in the Catskills. Seventyish Lavina and local sheriff Tod Arthur soon try to find the murderer of a man whose background in radio may have led him to blackmail. Already researching a book on her own radio experience, Lavina tempts fate by interviewing the man's former colleagues in New York City. Perky and spry, Lavina makes a great sleuth, and the author's seamless prose easily finishes what the children began. A pleasant read.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Barson, Jeff Cover (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 292 pages. January 1995 Edition. A Lavina London mystery. Gray boards with white cloth quarter spine and gold lettering on spine. Dust jacket has unclipped price of 16.95. Black streak across pages for remainder has made one smudge to cloth on bottom of binding. Tight clean book with no marks or stamps. Retired radio actress and amateur sleuth Lavina London investigates when her neighbor, radio soap opera star apparently commits suicide in the garage of his Catskill Mountain home. Former radio soap-opera star Henry Blaine was bidding a fond goodbye to Hemlock Lake and the Catskill Mountain town of Boulder. He wanted to go out with a bang, and he'd invited everybody who was anybody back in radio's golden days. There was just one catch: no one expected his farewell to be so final. It looks like an open and shut case: Henry discovered in his garage, the cause of death a lethal dose of carbon monoxide. But Lavina isn't buying suicide. A post-mortem of Henry's party over a cup of cocoa stirs up a steamy froth of questions. For example, why had such a glittering array of celebrities and hangers-on shown up from New York when many of them didn't count dear Henry among their most cherished friends?.
