Fundraising the Dead by Sheila Connolly

I like reading "cozy mysteries" and Fundraising the Dead by Sheila Connolly certainly fits the genre. It also echoes much of what I do as the director of the Bolduc House Museum in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. If you want to see a portrayal of the interaction that can happen among the board and staff members of a small but expensive to run nonprofit museum/archives, this is a fun glimpse of that reality. Not only does the protagonist, Nell Pratt, speak with an authentic voice, the story lasts long enough to be really satisfying - and it leaves the reader caring about the characters and hoping to meet them again.
