Two Sleuths & a Swimming Pool

Mrs. Pomolo Investigates

By: Donna Muse

Narrated by: Rachael Reading

At an event celebrating Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland novels, amateur investigator Geneva Pomolo is drawn into intrigue when her gentleman friend, George, discovers he has a long-lost, now fully grown, daughter. This daughter lives in the Wrangler’s Hill area and is—or so he hears—in terrible danger. George and Geneva begin a mad scramble to find the girl before the worst happens.

But their quest is interrupted by a murder—that of Myrna Nettles, a locally beloved octogenarian who had recently, improbably, become engaged to be married. When Myrna is found floating face-down in her own pool, Geneva begins digging. It soon becomes clear that Myrna’s carefully crafted reputation conceals some dark secrets: a husband who scammed dozens of people out of their life savings…a “fitness expert” with a nasty temper…a legendary Shakespearean actor who’s gone mad in his old age…a blogger whose marriage is crumbling…all of whom had the means and motive to murder Myrtle. Now it’s up to Geneva and her investigating partner, Iris, to bring the killer to justice before he or she strikes again.

Wonderful Cozy

Two Sleuths and a Swimming Pool is a cozy mystery by Donna Muse. I enjoyed this mystery. Geneva, Iris and George are great characters. Family can have tons if drama and the author tapped into that drama perfectly. Rachel Reading gives a good narration. I thought that this was an enjoyable story.

Easy read

Struggled a bit to finish as it did not keep my interest. these books are for me a relaxing easy read

Mrs. Pomolo is at it again!

This is another short installment in the Mrs. Pomolo series. I enjoy these stories a lot. They are generally around 2 ½ hrs so are great for shorter car rides. The mysteries are engaging and the characters are funny and quirky. In this story, Mrs. Pomolo and crew are in search of a rare Lewis Carroll book and the hunt leads them to a local elderly benefactress. When the crew finds her dead in her swimming pool things get heated.

As usual, Rachael Reading does an excellent job with the narration. She clearly identifies each character and is a joy to listen to.

I recommend these fun, cozy mysteries if you want a quick mystery.
