" I looked for Hitchcock's books on the library shelves because Linda Fairstein mentioned her as a mentor and friend in her books, and I do like Linda Fairstein's mystery thrillers! At first I thought I was going to abandon this book as being shallow, but it got to be a fun mystery. It is nothing like Fairstein's, which are much more serious. Reven, the main character in Mortal Friends, owns an antique shop in Georgetown in D.C., attends a parties where she gets to rub elbows with the rich and powerful, and ever has a few dates with a Senator farmer from Kansas. A serial killer has everyone nervous in Washington, and, of course, Reven finds herself involved, as well as her best friend Violet, who is married to a rich and powerful (and connected) old-money Potomas banker. It is a quick and fun mystery. "
