    About this audiobook

    In Waldorf Pines, ostentation and pretension are the order of the day. But even by local standards, Martha Heydrich is a stone cold pain. She's the stay-at-home wife of a very rich husband, into everybody's business and rumored to be having an affair with a local teenager, Michael Platte. One morning she seemingly vanishes, and that night her husband returns home to find the pool house ablaze. Once the fire is extinguished, police discover two bodies - one is Michael Platte and the other is presumed to be Martha. But then the DNA results come back and the second body is an unknown man. With Martha nowhere to be found, the police to turn to ex-FBI Gregor Demarkian to unravel this most puzzling of cases.

    Jane Haddam

    Jane Haddam (1951–2019) was an American author of mysteries. Born Orania Papazoglou, she worked as a college professor and magazine editor before publishing her Edgar Award–nominated first novel, Sweet, Savage Death, in 1984. This mystery introduced Patience McKenna, a sleuthing scribe who would go on to appear in four more books, including Wicked, Loving Murder (1985) and Rich, Radiant Slaughter (1988).   Not a Creature Was Stirring (1990) introduced Haddam’s best-known character, former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The series spans more than twenty novels, many of them holiday-themed, including Murder Superior (1993), Fountain of Death (1995), and Wanting Sheila Dead (2005). Haddam’s later novels include Blood in the Water (2012) and Hearts of Sand (2013).

      Disappointing--supposedly an award finalist but 6-7 chapters in all we had was a missing woman and some security camera tampering. Also no sympathetic characters. I had to force myself to keep reading.

      Just boring!
    • 4/5
      Waldorf Pines is a gated community in the suburbs of Philadelphia -- and those who live in its expensive, over-the-top homes believe themselves to be part of the elite. So when two of its residents – a troubled young man and the flamboyant wife of a wealthy misfit -- die on the same day in the same place, one drowned and the other consumed by fire, it’s a shock. The local police chief (who only aspires to be as good a lawman as Barney Fife) calls in Gregor Demarkian to solve the case. Michael Platte, the drowning victim, and Martha Heydrich, whose body was burned beyond recognition, had been seen together and had been rumored to be having an affair. But when officials determine the burnt body could not have been Martha’s, they struggle to find out who the victim was and where Martha has disappeared to. Enter Gregor Demarkian, retired FBI agent and current police consultant. He quickly determines that all the suspects and witnesses are hiding something. And behind the scenes in Waldorf Pines, all is not as it appears. In the early days of this series (27 or so books ago), I read every one of the Gregory Demarkian mysteries as they came out. I took a long vacation and am now just getting back to them. They’re solidly written, intricately plotted and quick reads. What’s not to like?

      Retired FBI agent Gregor Demarkian is called in to consult on a double homicide at the weatlhy Waldrof Pines residences. The police have arrested the wrong man and want to appease the snobby residents who all have secrets to hide by hushing bad publicity. It was easy to guess the identity of the second murder victim but the reveal of the murderer was a surprise at the end.
