A Comedy of Heirs is a creative and delightful entry in Rett MacPherson's popular Torie O'Shea mystery series Amidst planning for Christmas and the annual family reunion, Torie O'Shea barely has time to indulge in her hobby, genealogical research. But preparing for the reunion--and the influx of relatives--piques her curiosity about her own family tree. When Torie discovers that her own great-grandfather was murdered, and that her great-uncle was the main suspect, she never dreams that the past history she thought was long-buried could resurface in the present in such a deadly way.
