Dorothy Phaire’s Murder and the Masquerade
Posted by LMReviewsMay 24
Welcome back!
The two main female characters in Dorothy Phaire’s Murder and the Masquerade learn that unconditional love first develops from within. Psychologist Reneé Hayes is not only caught in a loveless relationship with her husband, she’s in a loveless relationship with herself. Striving not only to find love, she struggles to find someone to whom she can bestow her love and energy. As a result, she throws herself into helping others while secretly doubting her ability to do so. A break-in at her home brings her in contact with the depths of her problems and a new object of her affection, a younger Detective Degas Hamilton. 
The other main female character, Veda Sims, an office manager for a law firm has lost her dignity and self-respect in her attempts to hold onto the affections of her lover, LaMarr Coleman, a lawyer at her firm and the man whose love she valued more than her marriage, her daughter or even herself. Her obsession with LaMarr brings Veda to the brink of self-destruction and to Dr. Hayes’ couch. The women’s professional connection turns dangerous as Veda fails to see who LaMarr really is and what he’s capable of.Reneé and Veda’s desire to love and be loved lead them to re-examine their choices and the influences in their lives. While the women’s transformation is nowhere near complete the reader gets the sense that things are now moving in the right direction. For this journey, I give Murder and the Masquerade four out of five Sable Seals.
