Years ago, I worked as a volunteer in an inner city soup kitchen. There I met a variety of characters both admirable and disreputable. This provided the background for The Death of Betty Pinto. In the story, Betty and Rose are two elderly friends who run a soup kitchen in a building they own. After a public argument between them, Betty is found murdered. Who killed Betty? Is it Rose, who stands to inherit Betty's half of the building? Detective Blanchard thinks so. Or is it one of the kitchen's clientele with a grudge against Betty who wasn't a sweet old lady.

Twist and Turn!       Rated by Gogo   [From USA  - 5/8/2008]
This is a great read. I thought I had the story figured out, then it took an unexpected turn. As I was digesting that, it morphed again. It's a fun ride and a recommended read! A real twister!


The Death of Betty Pinto is a "who done it" with a bit of a twist       Rated by Guest   - 5/6/2008
From the moment it began The Death of Betty Pinto grabbed my attention. Rachael is a young teacher brought up by her grandmother, Rose and Rose's best friend Betty. When Betty is murdered and left on a park bench with the bodies of two of her many cats, Rose is taken in for questioning. Rachael is convinced that the police are bent on blaming the murder of her Aunt Betty on her grandmother. All they have is a list of circumstantial evidence, such as a loud argument between the women and some possible tainted soup.

However, the lead detective is busy building his case based on gossip and suspicion. It is up to Rachael to clear her grandmother's name. The ending isn't as clear cut as it first seems and Colombo has one more surprise for us at the end.
