A patron loves Patricia Macdonald and wondered if there were any similar authors. I haven't read her, so I said I'd send the request out for Fiction-L to come to the rescue, yet again! The patron said she likes the complex # of possible suspects that Macdonald offers. She also enjoys reading about impossible situations that seem to get worse no matter what the characters do. She mentioned she also liked Marcia Muller. . . . TIA!
