It's January, and Beth Reddy, newly certified private investigator, is hired by members of her book club to help solve the killing of one of their own.

Although one individual, a local odd fellow, emerges in the eyes of Beth and Damien as the main person of interest, local officials seem to be perplexed. The odd fellow possesses a mysterious past and a curious connection to the murder victims, but the logistics and motives just don't seem to add up. The murders continue to pile up, further complicating the investigation and confirming the suspicions of some in the law enforcement community. Nothing is as it seems as Beth and Damien stretch the legal boundaries while desperately seeking the identity of the person eliminating members of the book club.

Who done it?

This is a simple, well –written novel of murders being committed in a small town in Minnesota, the victims being members of this particular women’s book club, of whom Beth Reddy is a member. Beth is a private investigator along with her boyfriend, Damian George. When the local law enforcement do not seem to be making much headway, the book club hires Reddy and George to investigate and see if they can solve these murders. The plot has some interesting twists and turns, including a few interesting characters. It reads well and is entertaining without straining the reader’s need to remember many clues and nuances. I enjoyed it and I recommend for those who want a fast, interesting tale.
I was given this e-book free for an honest review.
