“Leslie Wheeler, Murder at Gettysburg - Her roommate as...”

★★★★★

written by Harriet Klausner on 23/03/2005

Leslie Wheeler, Murder at Gettysburg - Her roommate as an undergraduate at Stanford, Ginny Longford Cross, and her father, Virginian Randall Longford, invite Boston historian Miranda Lewis as their guest at a Gettysburg reenactment. Ginny's estranged husband, Wiley, a die-hard reenactor who believes in 100 percent authenticity and is willing to look war torn gaunt, will play a Confederate soldier at the event.

At the gala, Wiley is accidentally shot and soon after dies of cardiac arrest, which is surprising since he had no heart trouble. While Ginny grieves her loss, Miranda makes inquiries among the Civil War participants after learning that the person who shot Wiley is also dead following a motorcycle-truck incident. As Miranda digs deep into what is going on at the reenactment, she is in jeopardy of being the next victim of the Civil War though it is a hundred and forty years since Appomattox.

Though the homicide occurs towards the middle of the book, readers will enjoy how MURDER AT GETTYSBURG provides insight as to what happens behind the scenes at a reenactment. The first half of plot also sets the tone on relationships between the key players. Once fans adjust to Miranda investigating a potential murder (a difficult issue of acceptance with most of the sub-genre tales), the entertaining, amateur sleuth storyline grips the audience until the heroine risks her life confronting the killer.
