One of the things I like best about this series is the everyman nature of heroine and unlikely sleuth, Beth Kennedy. She's a mom, a small business owner and not a very adventurous dresser. Newly elected president of the Tarver PTA, she tries to kick off the first meeting with a lecture by a local investment guru, Dennis Halpern. When the meeting turns ugly after an uproar with her nemesis Claudia, Beth adjourns for a break. The shot can be heard echoing through the halls, as Rynwood becomes the site for yet another murder. And yes, it seems as though the PTA could be cursed. As usual, Beth's best friend Marina is a perfect foil for Beth's staid ways, whether sleuthing or shopping. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I realized after finishing this book, I don’t read enough cozies. I forget how delightful and entertaining they are. “Curse of the PTA” is definitely one of those.
Beth Kennedy is a bookstore owner, mom, President of the PTA, and police consultant. Police consultant, you ask? Sounds rather odd for someone who seems to be a wholesome, small town woman. True, but apparently Beth has a habit of coming across dead bodies and has an ability to find out some of the most inane information that to most, would seem like nothing, but ends up leading her to suspects. Some right, some…not-so-right.
Dennis Halpern is a financial consultant and Beth has him at a PTA meeting to discuss possible choices of investing the PTA’s money. But before he gets too much of a chance to actually say a few words, he’s shot and killed. How bad is this PTA anyway?
Alden’s story is enjoyable and I love the wit she throws in. Definitely recommended. Make it your next book you bring to the beach this summer.
