Murder Takes a Partner (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #2)
A death at the ballet draws Reuben Frost into a backstage conspiracy
While striding down Fifth Avenue, reveling in the beauty of the city, Reuben Frost loses his footing—and is caught by a ballerina. Hailey Coles is a slip of a girl, but her firm grip keeps the retired lawyer from crashing down to earth. Soon, Frost will have a chance to return the favor. When the stage of the National Ballet is darkened by murder, only he can ensure that the show will go on.
Clifton Holt is a brilliant choreographer, but as an artistic director, he’s made enemies of everyone from the boardroom down to the corps de ballet. When he’s found stabbed to death at the stage door, it’s assumed to be the work of a single desperate mugger. But Frost smells a more complicated plot, and he vows to find the killers before the final curtain falls.
Murders and Acquisitions (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #3)
Before retiring from his prestigious New York law practice, Reuben Frost was counsel to the Anderson Foods Corporation, a huge and profitable family-operated company. He and his wife Cynthia, a former ballerina, have remained friendly with Flemming Anderson, AFC chief-executive, so Reuben is not surprised when Flemming asks his advice on dealing with a hostile takeover bid. Shortly thereafter, Flemming is scalded to death in his hot tub, and then his daughter is mauled and killed by her dogs, events that spur the urbane ex-lawyer into investigative action. With suspects ranging from the corporate buy-out artist to assorted Anderson heirs, Reuben leads both New York and Connecticut police to the resolution, missing only a few of his customary afternoon naps in the process.
Murder Keeps a Secret (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #4)
When his godson is pushed out of a window, Reuben Frost looks for a killer who’s trying to rewrite history
Reuben Frost waits patiently for his turn to purchase the tickets that will allow him to get his hands on a weak martini. Though wary of his fellow guests at the annual charity dinner, the brilliant lawyer, recently put out to pasture by his white-shoe firm, will endure his watered-down drink for the sake of his godson. David Rowan is a rising star in the publishing world, and his blockbuster biographies have earned him the $100,000 Reuff Prize for American History and a seat at the head of the banquet. But Rowan is about to learn that when stars stop rising, they come crashing back down to earth.
When he falls to his death from his office window, his godfather is convinced that the young man must have been murdered. But who would kill a scholar? With the help of his loyal wife, this septuagenarian sleuth will find that history is a dangerous subject.
Murder Times Two (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #5)
The murder of an eccentric millionaire presents a deadly puzzle for Reuben Frost
When Tobias Vandermeer, heir to one of New York’s great real estate fortunes, required a quiet divorce, there was no lawyer more equipped than Reuben Frost. A cheerful drunk with a knack for jazz piano, Vandermeer and Frost remained friends—right up until the day the former drops dead in the midst of a reading club dinner. The poison found in his bloodstream makes Vandermeer’s death a murder; his fabulous wealth makes it a scandal.
Frost senses a clue in the deceased’s latest needlepoint effort: a scene from the devastating satire Vanity Fair, the book club’s latest subject. But eliminating suspects and finding his old friend’s killer will require an angry call to the mayor, a trip to Rio, and at least one more death.
Murder Saves Face (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #6)
To save his old firm, Reuben Frost must find a killer in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen
It’s the last business day of the year and Tom Henderson is alone in the library of prominent Wall Street law firm Chase & Ward. He’ll be out the door as soon as he grabs one last volume of case law from the sleek compact shelving system recently installed in the firm’s new Clinton Plaza building. But when the shelves slide open, they reveal the mangled body of a senior associate lying dead in the stacks.
The victim had few friends—and many enemies—and the killer could’ve come from anywhere in New York. Has a murderer infiltrated Chase & Ward, or is someone inside the firm committing sinister deeds? It falls to Reuben Frost, the firm’s most respected retired member, to answer that awful question.
A Very Venetian Murder (Reuben and Cynthia Frost Mystery #7)
During an Italian getaway, Reuben Frost tracks a historically minded murderer
The sun shines bright on the canals of Venice, and in his seat in the motoscafo, Reuben Frost can’t think of anywhere he’d rather be. For more than two decades, Frost and his wife have made an autumn pilgrimage to the Bride of the Sea, and he credits the city’s restorative effects with helping him survive long into retirement. As always, the couple stays in the legendary Hotel Cipriani, presently occupied by the outrageous fashion designer Gregg Baxter, but this time they’ll learn there’s more than one way to die in Venice.
After surviving an attempted poisoning, Baxter is found stabbed to death by a colorful hand-blown glass dagger—the weapon of choice for Venetian assassins ever since the Renaissance. With the help of Commissario Valier, an Italian detective, Frost must find the killer or risk spoiling his vacation.
