The Wolfe widow

The Kelly family and Vera Van Alst make an interesting set of characters. I liked them right away, but I wasn't sure about some of the other characters. As it turns out most of them are okay too.
Jordan ran all over town and went in and out of the Van Alst house to solve the mystery and protect Vera. So I got a good idea of the area.
There really wasn't any romance in this one, so I don't really have an opinion about Smiley.
The mystery was not who committed a murder, but how is Muriel controlling Vera. I was able to figure out that part, but there was still a couple twists that I didn't expect.
The solution where Jordan brought everyone together was a lot of fun! She presented the evidence and witnesses and got the bad guys. It was a great ending!
Overall, it was a little bit of a slow start, but the ending was awesome!
