Book excerpt: The decade of the 1920s is now one hundred years ago. Flappers and speakeasies are hallmarks of that era. Family conflicts, adultery and even murder were prevalent during this period of decadence and free love. THE LATE MR. CARY is a mystery set in the stately home of an upper crust family bringing the 1920s to life-amidst a parade of death! It is January 1928. Megan Cary, a young and stylish librarian, lives with her moody but wealthy husband, Adam, on Central Park South. Just as Meg can no longer tolerate her husband's philandering, Adam mysteriously dies during a weekend trip to his hometown of Albany. Meg finds a suicide note, and the police want to quickly close the case. So does Adam's mother, Helen Cary, the stern matriarch of the brownstone house she shares with her sister and brother-in-law, as well as her daughter and son-in-law.

CARY continues to a denouncement where Sloane Sheppard finally reveals the mysteries behind these violent deaths.Michael Campeta displays a mastery of pace and mystery in this suspenseful and satisfying historical thriller.
