A well-planned, cleverly written mystery!

Hyannis House by Gordon Mathieson While I enjoyed Quissett by Mathieson, Hyannis House far surpasses his first effort in crispness, characters and plot. In this death-by-heart attack turned murder mystery, Mathieson takes us once again to Hyannis Port, Massachusetts where the loveless marriage of Joey and Senator Clay Hepburn has suddenly ended with his death on a golf course. As the story unfolds, we learn that he was golfing with his about-to-jump-ship top aide who had just announced his defection to the camp of Clay's competitor in the upcoming Senate race. Joey is saddened at the life cut short but relieved of the need to divorce Clay. Their daughter, Kelly, the only surviving child after her brother's accidental death, seems oddly unphased. Soon, Joey decides to make a bid to fill her husband's Senate seat until the fall election. Encouraged by the support of her old college friend, Lazarus Creed, who is a successful private investigator currently in semi-retirement, she decides to run for re-election as well. As Joey and Lazarus fall in love, he agrees to take the job of her aide and his sixth sense and strange apparitions point him toward the mysterious circumstances that surround the Senator's death. As he probes further, evidence shows poison to be the cause. As the mystery unravels, Mathieson keeps us in suspense until the very end, drawing us in with well-developed characters and intricate plot brought fully to life. A well-planned, cleverly written mystery with a surprise ending!

The Hyannis House

i found the beginning of this book a little dry, but then again sometimes books have to start that way to introduce all of the main characters. after the first few chapters i was sucked into the book and i felt as though i was actually watching the events play out. i am not one to read many mystery book, but his was the perfect book for me. it involved a thrilling mystery with a romantic twist to it. this book has many cliff hangers and a surprise ending! i hope u enjoy it as much as i did.
