What it offers

A note for parents

This is a cozy mystery novel aimed at adult readers, but it's relatively gentle for its genre. A murder investigation forms the plot and uncovers personal wrongdoing, but the violence is not graphic or pervasive. The protagonists are thoughtful problem-solvers navigating a small community's secrets with integrity. The book would appeal to mature middle-grade and teen readers who enjoy mystery but may not yet suit younger readers due to adult themes and the nature of the crime.

From the publisher

From the Edgar-Award winning author David Handler comes The Bright Silver Star, the third installment in the Berger and Mitry Mysteries Mitch Berger has been accepted at least on the surface by some of the posh families in the small enclave to which he's moved - even his open affair with the beautiful black policewoman... From the Edgar-Award winning author David Handler comes The Bright Silver Star, the third installment in the Berger and Mitry Mysteries Mitch Berger has been accepted at least on the surface by some of the posh families in the small enclave to which he's moved - even his open affair with the beautiful black policewoman is looked upon peaceably. But when a member of the small group of men who gather for early-morning walks is found dead, the subsequent investigation, involving both Mitch and Desiree, opens a very large container of personal evil that has no place in any society. "With its vivid setting, quirky and unusual characters, and fast-paced plot skillfully interwoven with movie trivia, this cozy with attitude is sure to satisfy Handler's many committed fans and attract new ones." - Publishers Weekly
