Book Description
Charlie Meiklejohn is a former arson detective turned private investigator. His wife Constance Leidl, is a professional psychologist. Together, they're an unbeatable team, ready to take on the most convoluted cases.
The Hamlet Trap--Roman Cavanaugh runs a small theater company in Ashland, Oregon. When a new director comes to town, bringing with him and eccentric playwright, jealousies arise and tempers flare; suddenly, a man is found murdered. Ro's niece, Ginnie, is accused, but as Constance and Charlie work to unravel the mystery, they uncover a trail of secrets that threatens to tear the company apart.
Smart House--Gary Elringer, computer genius, has sunk most of his company's funds into the construction of Smart House--much to the stockholders' dismay, most of whom were family and friends. But when Gary invited them all to a game of Assassin, he never dreamed he'd wind up dead for real. Constance and Charlie's investigations show that the guests all had reasons for wanting him dead--but everyone's alibis are as solid as the house itself. Which leads to the next question: Could the house be the killer? Just how smart is Smart House?
Seven Kinds of Death--That was the title of Marion Olsen's most famous sculpture, but the name took on a new meaning when bodies starting turning up at her Maryland artists' colony. The case piques Constance and Charlie's sixth sense, especially since they have more suspects than they could count on five fingers. And with no more than three clues, the two detectives trap one very deadly killer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific mystery series!,
By Linda Clement (Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Casebook of Constance & Charlie Volume 1 (Paperback)
I've adored the Constance and Charlie books for years, and it's great to see them collected in two volumes (this book is Volume 1). Constance and Charlie are intelligent, well-rounded, and often humorous characters, and their personalities and marriage are as much a part of these stories as are the mysteries they investigate. The mysteries themselves are comprised of unusual and interesting casts of characters, and the plot twists are always inventive and surprising. This is light and entertaining fiction, but the quality of the writing is high enough for the most discriminating reader.
