Take a trip that's a little bit Nancy Drew, a dash Cheech and Chong and, and just enough Streets of San Francisco to make you want to hop on a cable car. Lee Harding can’t find happiness in the harsh east coast winters. A trip to her hometown of San Francisco is meant to lift her spirits. She stays with her sister Alice’s home at the Twenty Alder compound, a tiny courtyard with five separate apartments. The residents are scurrying to prepare for their landlord Martha’s birthday celebration. The courtyard is lit with strings of lights, the bar is ready and lanterns are being hung on the enormous oak trees. When Lee is in New Jersey, she does nothing but dream of moving back to San Francisco, but this trip is proving that you cannot go home again. There seems to be new buildings everywhere, and the funky city of her past is getting harder and harder to find. Bohemian Landlord Martha Byrne represents all that is loved about old San Francisco. When she is murdered in her apartment after her party, Lee is determined to figure out which of the tenants is responsible. The detective on the case is a started and pressed cop named Erik Healy. Lee’s position as a guest in the compound gives her unfettered access to the politics that go on between the tenants at Twenty Alder Street. She shares her concerns with the detective and soon the two have formed a friendship that has a little too much heat. Lee is reading Hemingway’s, A Moveable Feast and decides that the author died full of regret. She keeps this in mind as she toys with the idea of something further with Erik Healy. The Harding sisters distract themselves from the grim mood at the apartment house by touring their old haunts. The scars from their tragic childhood have left them with painful wounds, and they find lighthearted relief in weed and alcohol. It seems just about everyone in the complex has a motive for wanting Martha dead, but no one more than the hot headed Miles Alcazar. Just when Lee is sure the man is responsible, he turns up dead. Someone is taking out the residents one by one and she fears her sister Alice could be next. Death on Alder is a love letter to San Francisco, sisterhood and the myth of home.

Usually, I don't care for murder mysteries because I always figure out the who dunnit part half way into the book. Death on Alder kept me guessing right up until the big reveal. Best of all, Everett broke a lot of tired old rules of Agatha Christie copycats, and it's so refreshing. I found myself really caring about the characters and the setting, especially the main character, Lee. As a kid I read every Nancy Drew book I could get a hold of, but after a while they all seemed the same. Lee, is how I imagine Nancy Drew would be in real life, a fallible middle aged woman, who is both ordinary and extraordinary, who smokes weed, and struggles with her marriage, while contemplating another man. Let's face it, Nancy Drew was murder mystery barbie, the vapid cheerleader who married the high school quarter back and peaked before 23. Lee is heartbreakingly real, the murder feels real, and you finding yourself hoping that none of the suspects are actually the culprit. This book reminded me of why I used to love mysteries, because they are supposed to take you on vacation, introduce you to a cast of interesting characters and lead you on a trail of suspense and adventure.I can't wait for the next book!

Not your typical murder mystery.....I loved the evolution of the character and the internal conflict and dilema the character Lee Harding went through. I definately can relate to the storyline of growing up in a big city and coming back as an adult and seeing that place you've held so many fond memories of change and transform into something very different than your memories remind you of. I can see the character spanning into other stories and adventures in the coming series and very much look forward to checking them out. Look forward to more exciting material from Mrs. Beth Everett.

By Amazon Customer This book was a great read by the fire over the holidays but will work nicely by the pool during Summer vacation too. A friend turned me on to it and asked what I thought. It's reminiscent of an acid-fueled Hunter S. Thompson vacation despite the lack of guns and LSD. The main character (Lee Harding) is middle-aged and on the precipice of walking away from an unexciting marriage. She examines strangers with scrutiny while avoiding looking at her life with anything but bleary vision in a haze of Marijuana meets bourbon, in Miss Marple meets "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" What's not to like about that!
