Miss Melville's Revenge by Evelyn E Smith--review

 

This is the third in the series, and was first published in 1989

 Miss Melville was raised in high society, rich, and without a care in the world.  Then her father absconded with all of their money.  While her friends in high society remained her friends, they were unaware of how poor she really was.

After years of just getting by, she inadvertently became a paid assassin, which lessened her money woes.  But she still had standards she insisted upon holding--she would only assassinate "bad guys".  After being "discovered" as an artist, she no longer accepted assassination assignments, but found she had a calling for killing.  So she continued on her own, only killing "bad guys".

I enjoyed this series about a middle-aged high society killer, although it is a little strange.

This is number 7 for my Craving for Cozies Challenge, and my 2021 Reading Challenge.
