Description of  Monument to the Dead (A Museum Mystery)

I love all of Connolly's books and this is no exception. She does such a wonderful job of not only telling a story, but educating the reader about behind the scenes workings with which that series deals. In the case of this series, it is what goes on in a historical museum. Nell notices an obituary for a former Society board member, Adeline Harrison, since Harrison was up in years, Nell didn't give it a second thought, but made a mental note to send flowers. Then when her close friend and FBI agent, James Morrison, calls for background information on her and mentions other deaths of similar nature in recent times, things aren't adding up. Nell, with the help of her staff has found a link of the deceased board members and that link seems to point back to Nell's museum. Since James' bosses at the FBI don't feel there is evidence to warrant an investigation, it will be up to Nell and James to find the murderer before another board member dies.
