The Blonde Leading the Blonde is a mystery set in Braddock's Beach, Ohio. The main character, Ellery Tinsdale, is summoned there for the reading of her aunt's will, an aunt she never knew about.
Ellery's father had never mentioned that Ellery has an Aunt Izzy, and never mentioned the town of Braddock's Beach, even though that is where he grew up. So when Ellery gets there, she is surprised to discover that her family had been the social elite of the town. Ellery is also informed that she is to inherit the family mansion, family money, and family social position.
She discovers one additional detail. She is also suspected of her aunt's murder.
She is taken under the wing of Samantha (Sam) Green, a friend of her aunt's. They decide to find out who murdered Aunt Izzy together. There is a lot of bickering back and forth between Sam and Ellery, especially concerning Ellery's position in the community and her lack of fashion style.
I enjoyed the book, although I thought Sam was a little pushy, and Ellery a little wimpy. If there is a sequel, I will probably read it.
This fulfills a requirement in the A to Z challenge author--O.
