Where There's A Will is the 10th installment in the Rowland Sinclair WWII mystery series.
I will say this is one of my favorites in the series. It is captivating in the plot the scenic descriptions and in the historic references. So many memorable people from history are mentioned and brought into the storyline. Sulari Gentill is brilliant at interweaving the historical facts leading up to WWII with a mystery plot that feels like everyday life.
This time Rowland Sinclair and his friends, Edna, Milton and Clyde are brought to the United States to help figure out why Rowly's friend was recently murdered and why this friend made Rowly the executor of his will. The group travels between Boston and New York City and then spends some time on the North Shore of Massachusetts. The descriptions of each of the cities makes the reader feel like they are walking the street with our protagonists. The reality of life in the US during the early 1930s is realistic and presented at the beginning of each chapter with a news story from places like the Boston Globe.
As the series has progressed the characters have been developing and growing. Now it is like I know these four misfits from Australia. They are distant friends that I read about but don't get to visit with in person. Loyal to each other saving lives and sharing what they have without jealousy or regret.
Oh to have friends that loyal! I can hardly wait until the next installment of this fabulous series.
