Yesterday's Shadow: A Lacey Summer's PI mystery (A Lacey Summer's PI mystery (Prequel) Book 1), my first read from author Edna Curry.I was given a copy of Dead Man's Image (Lacey Summers, PI Mysteries #2) to read & review & wanted to read the first book in the series first. Winner! Now I'll get to read more by her in the future and look forward to her next work. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great beginning of the series!

I enjoyed this book. It is a great introduction to the Lacey Summers PI mysteries. We are introduced to many of the characters in the series as some of them meet each other for the first time. This was also a good story.

Good mystery.

A very good mystery plot but I personally do not care for the intimately described sex scenes. They do not add to the plot and are only fillers.

A very good story, spoiled for me by the porn - soft or not -still unacceptable

I started reading, but just couldn't stay interested.
