Wash
and Wear
Ed McAvoy
Mystery Series, No. 4
By Bill Stackhouse
”Wash and Wear”
is the fourth installment of Mr. Stackhouse's Ed McAvoy Mystery
Series. McAvoy is seen in a slightly different role after having
his leg shattered. He accepts the Police Chief position in the small
town of Peekamouse Heights in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
McAvoy is forced to solve a suspicious murder mystery which is seemingly
similar to mob hits. McAvoy attempts to find the killers before
another person is killed.
Having never
read any of the other McAvoy books, this reader is drawn to finding
the first three and sitting down and thoroughly enjoying them, as
this reader did with this one. Even not knowing McAvoy's history
from Mr. Stackhouse's previous novels, the reader does not feel
lost. The characterization of Ed McAvoy is detailed and the reader
is provided some history on McAvoy, just in case the reader picks
up this book out of series. The small town environment is well described
and gives the feeling that McAvoy is certainly much more used to
being in a big city environment when it comes to solving crimes.
