Kerry runs into an old friend, Lisa Whitaker, who wants to meet her on the stage where she can prove Shayna’s death was not an accident.

Jean Sheldon has a terrific imagination, and her plotting of this mystery reunites the characters from her first mystery who become Kerry's "civilian detectives." Kerry is the same stubborn and impetuous character who risks life and limb to right a wrong. She is a lovable heroine who needs help getting around for much of the story after almost being killed by someone who doesn't want her snooping.

SHOULD OLD ACQUAINTANCE BE DEAD once again uses computer and telephone fraud to warn readers of the new cyber-crime that is lurking. In the meantime, sharing Kerry's adventures and reluctant romance is a great time. A wonderful read!

The second sleuthing tale…is absolutely delectable. This is a great piece of detective work with incredibly vibrant side characters—even the cats and stuffed bear have entertaining roles to play. Kerry’s best friend, neighbors, old schoolmates, partner, and even the suspects make for a very colorful story.
