Where There's a Will by Sulari Gentill

Get it on Amazon ~ 

This is my first time reading a work by Sulari Gentill. When I saw it available through Poisoned Pen Press I decided there’s no time like the present to introduce myself to him. I'm starting out with the Roland Sinclair World War II ten-book mystery series. This series has gotten a ton of praise and it makes me excited to jump in. I enjoyed the cadence and feel of this book and after starting I've decided to pause, take my time, and thoroughly enjoy it all. I’ll update once I’m finished but for now I’m excited to backtrack and start with book one. Can I also comment on the cover style and art? Lovely!

From the Cover...
Hell hath no fury like a family disinherited...

American millionaire Daniel Cartwright has been shot dead: three times in the chest, and once in the head. His body is found in Harvard Yard, dressed in evening attire. No one knows who he planned to meet there, or why the staunch Oxford man would be caught dead at Harvard—literally.

Australian Rowland Sinclair, his mate from Oxford and longtime friend, is named executor of the will, to his great surprise—and that of Danny's family. Events turn downright ugly when the will all but disinherits Danny's siblings in favor of one Otis Norcross, whom no one knows or is able to locate. Amidst assault, kidnapping, and threats of slander, Rowly struggles to understand Danny's motives, find the missing heir, and identify his friend's killer before the clock—and his luck—run out.

A deft blend of history and mystery, WHERE THERE'S A WILL offers an alternately charming and chilling snapshot of Boston and New York in the 1930s, with cameo appearances by luminaries of the day including Marion Davies, Randolph Hearst, Errol Flynn, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and an arrogantly ardent Joe Kennedy, who proves no match for Rowly's sculptress friend Edna...
