What You Want to See: A Roxane Weary Mystery

The shooting death of interior decorator Marin Strasser, the fiancée of Roxane Weary’s current client, Arthur Unglass, drives Lepionka’s twisty second mystery featuring the Ohio PI (after 2017’s The Last Place You Look). Arthur hired Roxane to find out whether Marin was cheating on him, and he’s now the main suspect. Roxane, who can’t believe he killed her, discovers that Marin had a criminal past and, in her volatile adult son, a partner in crime. But was she up to no good, or had she turned her life around? Either way, Roxane is determined to prove Arthur’s innocence, but she is soon in way over her head. Roxane’s self-destructive tendencies, such as frequent drinking and a fraught on-and-off romance with the beautiful and mercurial Catherine Walsh, whose help she enlists, only serve to complicate matters. That Roxane has an alarming habit of diving headfirst into dangerous situations only makes her more fascinating. Fans will no doubt look forward to her next case.
