Back in her hometown, McKenna quickly remembers why she left
Waverly, Connecticut, has turned its back on most modern conveniences. It has no cinema, no strip malls, no supermarket. Groceries are nearly an hour’s drive away, along spotty two-lane roads that get blocked the moment snow starts to fall. True-crime writer Patience McKenna, on her way to Waverly for her wedding, remembers the roads well enough to navigate the patch ice. Her hometown feels lost in time, but on this trip, it will be anything but boring. Bloody, yes, but never dull. An old-money quarrel over a piece of land turns violent just a few days before her wedding. Members of McKenna’s family start dropping, and while the world may be better off without her crackpot relatives, Pay needs to clean up the mess. She wanted a white wedding—not one that’s blood red.

From Publishers Weekly
Patience McKenna, romance writer, detective and heroine of several Papazoglou titles ( Sweet, Savage Death ) returns to her Connecticut hometown to be wed, but first she must solve the murders of a few privileged relatives and friends. A quarrel over a piece of land whose ownership is disputed among the local gentry leads to the deaths of an uncle, a loathed elderly aunt and the young wife of a popular trance channeler before Pay, delving into local pre-Revolutionary archives, can ferret out a motive. Papazoglou's buoyant heroine chatters her way though this mildly diverting, unconvincing succession of set pieces, dismayed by her family's assured old-money ways but ultimately undaunted. The thin, hard-to-credit plot and jarring notes (such as her friend Phoebe's imminent delivery of a baby diagnosed in utero with spina bifida) spoil the lighthearted rhythm. The distracted McKenna, however, remains a likable character.

Review
“Haddam plays the mystery game like a master.” —Chicago Tribune “[Haddam’s] writing is breezy and marked by deft turns of phrase.” —The New York Times “Charmingly original, with the occasional cuteness redeemed by a suddenly exposed hard edge.” —Publishers Weekly
About the Author
Jane Haddam (b. 1951) is an American author of mysteries. Born Orania Papazoglou, she worked as a college professor and magazine editor before publishing her Edgar Award–nominated first novel, Sweet, Savage Death, in 1984. This mystery introduced Patience McKenna, a sleuthing scribe who would go on to appear in four more books, including Wicked, Loving Murder (1985) and Rich, Radiant Slaughter (1988). Not a Creature Was Stirring (1990) introduced Haddam’s best-known character, former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian. The series spans more than twenty novels, many of them holiday-themed, including Murder Superior (1993), Fountain of Death (1995), and Wanting Sheila Dead (2005). Haddam’s most recent novels are Blood in the Water (2012) and Hearts of Sand (2013).

Book Five, But Can Be Read On Its Own
By Ann E. Nichols
This book was my introduction to the Patience "Pay" McKenna series by Orania Papazoglou (who writes the Gregor Demarkian series as Jane Haddam). After I finished it, I had to get the earlier books: Sweet, Savage Death; Wicked, Loving Murder; Death's Savage Passion; and Rich, Radiant Slaughter.
Pay has gone home for her wedding, so aside from her best friend, Phoebe(of course), we don't get the usual serving of romance writers and publishing problems. That's all right. Pay's McKenna relatives are the kind of people who are fun in fiction, but... If your family makes them seem sweet and normal, you're probably going to be reading this book from a nice psychiatric ward. For example, Pay tells us that her Great-Aunt Felicia always reminded her of Queen Elizabeth I the day she ordered Essex executed. The section where the family argues about whether or not Uncle Ephram deserves to be buried in the McKenna graveyard is not to be missed, especially when Aunt Cordie goes into her act.
Tommy Dick the local policeman is sure that Damon Rask of the House That Looks Like a Hovering Flying Saucer is a killer. Is he right? Why is there an odd little strip of land between the old Chistleworth and Deverton properties? What does it have to do with the plot? Is Pay going to be able to keep from getting killed long enough to have her wedding? Is her mother going to be able to refrain from killing her in-laws? What about Phoebe's baby on the way, first met in Rich, Radiant Slaughter? Go ahead and find out. It's a short read and a merry one.

Pay McKenna Goes Home
By Robert L. Piepenbrink
This is, sadly, the last of Papazoglou's "Pay McKenna" mysteries. The others are, in order, SWEET, SAVAGE DEATH, WICKED, LOVING MURDER, DEATH'S SAVAGE PASSION, and RICH, RADIANT SLAUGHTER. They can be read in any order, but there's a slight edge to reading them in order if you can.
The central character is a Manhattan-based writer from Old Money New England, so after three New York and one Baltimore story, Pay takes us home to meet the family. A pity Chas Addams didn't do the cover: they're his sort of people. The story takes place in the wilds of Connecticut--the part of Connecticut and the sort of people where and to whom the wear pattern on the oriental rug matters. (All the regular gang from Manhattan make appearances as well.) It's a good fair play mystery, with the same light-hearted tone I associate with Georgette Heyer's "Hanasyde and Hemingway" titles. Papazoglou's humor is laughter without mockery, and that's a rare thing these days. Buy the book.
Where to go from here: There are two other non-series Papazoglou titles, CHARISMA and SANCTITY, which I would rate a nearer suspense than mystery. More recently, under the pen name "Jane Haddam" the same author has done the "Gregor Demarkian" mysteries.

Several Eccentrics and A String of Murders
By Peter Kenney
The heroine of the story is crime novelist and amateur sleuth Pay McKenna who is the product of dancing classes, boarding schools, coming-out parties and high tea. The plot centers around Pay's return home to get married. While there she encounters several eccentrics and a string of murders which promises to grow.
The author writes about an environment she obviously knows well and the mood throughout is light.
