Spring Break

A Maggie Skerritt Mystery #3

by Charlotte Douglas

Spring Breakdown

It's springtime again, and all P.I. Maggie Skerritt and her charmingly levelheaded business partner and fiancé, Bill Malcolm, can do is hope that rite of passage infamously known as spring break is quiet and painless. Luckily, as the week progresses, Maggie and Bill find the influx of college kids committing only minor offenses, albeit they're piling up like empty kegs at a frat party.

If only life could remain that simple...

While the tourists wreak mostly harmless havoc, the murder of a woman and her possible connection to a local politician grabs all Maggie's attention. And when that same connection leads her and Bill back to the unsolved case that changed - and still haunts - both their lives, Maggie suddenly wishes party patrol was all she had to worry about.

About the author

CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS has loved a good story since she learned to read at the age of three. After years of teaching that love of books to her students, she now enjoys creating stories of her own. Often her books are set in one of her three favorite places—Montana, where she and her husband spent their honeymoon; the mountains of North Carolina, where she has a summer home; or Florida, near the Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s west coast, where she’s lived most of her life.

Reviews

[Boo Boo · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book because Charlotte Douglas co-authored some books with Janet Evanovich, so I had high hopes for it. It was a good read and I may have to look into reading the rest of the Maggie Skerrit books now. Like Janet, Charlotte writes a series with a strong dominant female personality. Maggie is a former cop turned private investigator. The books focus on her and her fiancé Bill and their investigating company.

Another good read from one of my favourite authors, but I think I prefer the historical romances.
