I enjoyed A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT very much and it kept me guessing. Hattie Davish who is a traveling secretarial writer for the wealthy has a bit of experience in helping to solve many mysteries, arrives at Newport, Rhode Island with Sir Arthur and his family. Sir Arthur explains to Hattie that he's on his way to New York and when she's finished typing work for him, she can take a little vacation on the island. While Sir Arthur is gone, his wife asks Hattie to work for a high society friend of hers, but not to help Hattie make more money, Sir Arthur's wife wants to be the first to hear of any gossip that's cirulating on the island.

The family that Hattie takes the secretarial position with has their share of problems, but when dead bodies start showing up, it's Hattie who seems to either find a dead body or walk into a room to find one of the most richest man dead with a bullet in his chest. She then gets involved in investagating the murders.

One thing about Hattie, she has a nose for tracking down those who had performed these horrid murders. As she works along side the Chief of police and others, she cannot believe that when they do find the murderer/murderers justice may never be served, or will it?

Oh an did I mention, there's a man in Hattie's life who loves her and she he, but with his high status in society, will they ever have a life together?

A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT has great characters and I was at edge of my seat trying to guess who had committed these murders. I could not put this book down, I had to know who did it.

Thumbs up for Anna Loan Wilsey for creating A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT, a very creative work of art!

A recommened read!

Book Summary

Traveling secretary and dilettante detective Hattie Davish is bringing her talents to a small New England town whose wealthy residents have more secrets than they do money. . .

When Hattie Davish's job takes her to Newport, Rhode Island, she welcomes the opportunity for a semi-vacation, and perhaps even a summer romance. But her hopes for relaxation are dashed when she learns that members of the local labor unions are at odds with Newport's gentry. Amidst flaring tensions, an explosion rocks the wharf. In the ensuing turmoil, Mr. Harland Whitwell, one of Newport's most eminent citizens, is found stabbed to death, his hands clutching a strike pamphlet. All signs point to a vengeful union member bent on taking down the aristocracy, but Hattie starts digging and finds a few skeletons in the closets of the impeccable Whitwell mansion. As she strikes down the whispers spilling out of Newport's rumor mill, she'll uncover a truth more scandalous than anyone imagined--and a killer with a rapacious sense of entitlement. . .
