Tramp
Marne Davis Kellogg
Mystery
320 pages
By turns sassy and tough, tender and vulnerable,
Lilly, a no-longer-so-young Wyoming belle with degrees
in criminology and toxicology, is a private
investigator and the marshal of Bennett's Fort, a town
owned literally lock, stock, and barrel by her cousin.
Shod by Chanel, clad in designer' suits, and wearing
ladylike white gloves, Lilly is an unlikely but highly
efficient detective - as she proves when confronted
with solving the murder by poisoning of Cyrus Vaile,
the incredibly rich, disgustingly lecherous old patron
of the local repertory theater. It happens on the
night of his birthday celebration, in full view of
Lilly and most of his repertory "family," any one of
whom might have a pretty good motive for wanting Cyrus
dead. And with so much flamboyant emotion obscuring
the facts like a theatrical fog, it isn't easy for
Lilly to cut through the glycerin tears and get at the
unvarnished truth. In Lilly, her eccentric extended
family (who made their money in two black crops - oil
and Angus cattle), and her dashing suitor Richard
Jerome (an ex-Morgan banker turned opera impresario
and professional team-roper), Marne Davis Kellogg has
invented a fascinating cast of ongoing characters.
