Colfax Bradshaw’s body was found by a group of school children during their tour of the Pittsburgh Museum. At first everyone thought it was part of the display.

The big question is “How did he die?” His widow and daughter Caitlin are very secretive. However, Caitlin decides she needs to get some legal advice and goes to see Cynthia Jakubec. Cynthia would rather be working with big and powerful lawyers, but at this time it is not going to happen. What Cynthia finds out is there are many people who would have liked Mr. Bradshaw dead, but “Who is it and why should she put herself in danger?”

There is a host of characters in this book that could be the potential killer. One of them might be her boyfriend; he is acting suspiciously around her. Or, it could be a sneaky fellow named Learned. You will not want to put this book down.

The author did an excellent job of describing her characters as she introduced them in a timely manner. You could actually feel what they were feeling. Her descriptive words put the reader right in the room with all the action; you will hold your breath. The suspense is non-stop from page one of “But Remember Their Names.”
