5.0 out of 5 stars
Amusing Mystery Novel, Dec 18 2009
By Kathleen M. Dillon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Grandmothers House (Hardcover)
Ebisch captures and maintains your interest and amusement from the first paragraph to the last in this fast moving who-done-it and who-did-whom adult mystery set in a small college town in New England. Besides providing a suspenseful story line with engaging characters (especially the protagonist's grandmother with her right-on-target Tao truisms), Ebisch is a master of witticism, making you smirk with delight at each humorous phrasing while awaiting the next gem to arrive.

4.0 out of 5 stars
fun lighthearted whodunit, Aug 29 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Grandmothers House (Hardcover)
Laura Magee was the art writer at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts until she lost her position and her boyfriend painter Owen Reynolds. Leaving Boston, she moves in with her grandma in the nearby college town Ravensford. When the Ravensford Chronicle's most popular columnist, Auntie Mabel dies after over three decades of advice, the owner Roger St. Claire hires Laura to continue the column as few people knew that Mabel was Ann Rickdorf.
Ravensford College head of security Keith Campbell charges into the newspaper's office demanding to see Auntie Mabel for the column she wrote yesterday. Apparently her advice persuaded his Amazonian girlfriend, college art teacher Heidi Lipton, the renowned "Pottery Princess", to dump him. Laura hides her alter ego from him, but offers to go out with him to make Heidi jealous even though she is attracted to the handsome Keith. At a gala, art department chair Jack Proctor is found dead when Laura accidentally falls on him at the bottom of some stairs. Heidi's bracelet is found with him. As Police detective Michael Farantello tells her to stay out of his inquiry as she has compromised the crime scene already; Laura helps him anyway.
This is a fun lighthearted whodunit as the heroine goes from no men in her life to three men (Keith, Frank and Owen who has come to the college) to maybe one man. The mystery is cleverly designed so that the beautiful but clearly strong Heidi seems to have committed the crime as she and the victim had issues, were arguing, and her bracelet was found on him; strength, size, and height being a key reason why she is a prime suspect and Laura is not. Fans will enjoy this entertaining Massachusetts frolic as the art of the heroine's late grandfather becomes the center of the conflict.
