The Past Can Be Murder, January 21, 2003
Reviewer:

Benni Harper is busy with many projects. There's a new exhibit going into the artist's co-op, she's writing up the story of Japanese-Americans from the area during World War II, and she's helping put on a senior prom at San Celina's retirement home. As the dance draws to a close, she finds two of the residences murdered. What did they have in common that would lead to their deaths? Meanwhile, old flame Clay O'Hara is back in town. His status as lead suspect starts to come between Benni and Gabe. Benni finds herself drawn into solving this case no matter what Gabe says. If she stays alive long enough to do it, will this end their relationship? Once again, Ms. Fowler has written a captivating story told with real emotion. It's hard not to be drawn into this world and really care for the characters. I found myself choking up on more then one occasion, yet also smiling and laughing at many of the lighter moments. The plot seems to get a little sidetracked near the middle, but picks up speed and reaches an interesting and satisfying conclusion. Anyone looking for a mystery with strong characters and interesting stories will love this series. I won't be able to stop myself from picking up the next to see what these people, I mean characters, are up to next.
