A couple finds an antique mirror that isn't broken, but still brings bad luck-"MacLeod can be counted on for a witty, literate, and charming mystery" (Publishers Weekly). According to Max Bittersohn, he and Sarah Kelling have witnessed enough murder and unhappiness, so it's high time they got married. And though Sarah hasn't yet agreed to such drastic measures, she invites Max to summer with her at Ireson's Landing. But they haven't been in the house ten minutes when they stumble upon summer's first mystery-a mint-condition, antique Spanish mirror that is tremendously rare and valuable. Sarah has never seen it before and she doesn't know how it ended up in the summerhouse, but the sleuthing couple will soon find this looking glass to be more troublesome than anything Lewis Carroll ever invented. As the zany Kelling clan descends on Ireson's Landing, Sarah and her beau try to uncover the mystery of the Bilbao looking glass-a quest that is disrupted when a vicious next-door neighbor is found hacked to death with a woodshed ax. By summer's end, Sarah and Max will learn that some murders can be solved simply by looking in the mirror.

      This concise murder mystery by the prolific MacLeod transpires among the yacht club set of heroine Sarah Kelling's childhood. When an extremely valuable antique mirror (the Bilbao Looking Glass) is mysteriously found in Sarah's summer home, her fiancé Max Bittersohn and she begin to unravel a series of murders. The story is peopled by bizarre characters in upper-class haunts. Mary Peiffer's cadence and demeanor blend well in these environs. She transitions with ease from characters as diverse as the police sergeant, overbearing aunts, and unruly boys. Her supercilious voice complements the story's ambience well. B.J.L.
