Palmetto Blood

by Reed Bunzel

Just what did TV reporter Rebecca Rose do that got her brutally murdered and left in a dirty gutter in downtown Charleston? That's what Jack Conner -- crime scene clean-up technician, recently discharged Iraq War veteran, and the victim's one-time lover -- wants to know when he and his crew are called early one morning to sanitize her murder scene. The Charleston police are seeking answers to the same question, and when they learn of Conner's romantic link to the victim they waste no time bringing him in for questioning as a "person of interest." Still dealing with emotional and physical scars from the battlefield, Conner takes it upon himself to find Rebecca's real killer -- a search that leads him to start scratching the underbelly of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

I'm not a huge fan of mysteries, but this one has a couple of turns that while were not shocking they were not easily guessed. So, it's a win!! :)
