My 1st Ben Abbott by Scott...I think I may have read a couple of novels under the pseudonym of Paul Garrison...reminiscent of Julia Mott Davidson, but instead of a caterer the hero is a real estate agent turned investigator in a toney exurb in Connecticut...our hero is pulled into murder of a developer...the investigation pits the old vs. new within the community...enough insights into human nature and plot twists to be fun read...I will read more Ben Abbott mysteries!!!
Justin Scott adds another entertaining and very readable tale about Ben Abbott, realtor, P.I.and ex-con. Set in Newbury CN a village that old families are trying to slow the takeover of the Library board, when a developer is murdered Ben is hired to find out who and why.
enjoyable P.I. Connecticut-based mystery.
"[This] well-crafted�intriguing mystery features a cast of fascinating characters and an honest look at the effects of modern ideas and design on a steadfast New England town." � Publishers Weekly

This was my first time with Justin Scott. He started with some wit but soon is was ordinary. I will try him again.
