Nice detective tale. Kept me interested and had some interesting characters. Nice pacing and ending worth waiting for. Turns out this writer has won awards for this private detective series of which this is book #11.

the worst so far

Healy writes a good, solid mystery. The plot clicks along, Cuddy as PI is believable and fully dimensional, the New England atmosphere is vividly painted. Ditto with other characters. And he is quite good at coming up with an unexpected plot twist.
Only one thing bothers me. As part of his back story, Cuddy's wife Beth died of cancer. As the series progressed, his visits to her grave evolved into a two-way conversation, which I find ridiculous. Healy once described seeing a man talking to a headstone, which inspired the element. So I get the idea, just not the execution.

INVASION OF PRIVACY - Ex
Healy, Jeremiah - 11th in John Francis Cuddy series
Hired by Olga Evorova to perform a discreet background check on the man she wants to marry, Cuddy believes it will be a simple assignment, until everyone he questions lies to him and a pair of thugs warn him to back off.
He may not be Robert Parker, but he's darned book. This series keeps getting better with each book.
