title: Murder Is Relative
author: Victoria Publishing New
description: Claire "Gram" Du Lac, wealthy elderly inhabitant of Quebec, hires Brigid Donovan, recovering alcoholic at 52, to look into the murder of her son-in-law in Maine and to write a history of a group called H.O.P.E. Before realizing Claire's true motives, Brigid becomes enmeshed in a tangle of family secrets that seems to involve all of her friends. Fascinating odd characters and strange circumstances abound, but they are confusing and contrived at times. While this novel is attractive in some ways, it is also uneven; a marginal purchase.<br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
