The Fens An Abby Endicott Mystery by Pamela Wechsler



I knew I had to read this book when I read the synopsis and found out:

  1. It is set in my hometown of Boston

  2. It is about RedSox Players

  3. It is a Murder Mystery!

  4. It is a series

  5. I loved the way the author wrote in landmarks and kept it totally authentic.


I was not disappointed. This is the second book in the series and while it most definitely may be read as a standalone, I am itching to read the first book because I loved this one so much and I am now addicted to the characters and this series! The story opens with Boston’s chief homicide prosecutor Abby Endicott and her boyfriend TY caught in a false arrest that was racially motivated, the action and drama just intensifies with each page. Soon Abby gets a call to report to Fenway park, it seems a RedSox player has gone missing. Things just go from bad to worse as another player is found murdered. Abby uncovers a web of lies that centers around a key player all while trying to keep her wealthy family off her back about her dangerous choice of career. Her relationship with TY is suffering, her drinking seems to be mirroring her Mothers' who is an alcoholic and her brother and sister-in law are expecting their first child. With all of this side drama Abby is razor sharp and laser focused. I devoured this book it was drama filled, intense and packed a punch with its well delivered lines and epic ending! This book is perfect for anyone who loves a great detective series.This review was originally posted on My Fiction Obsession
