My mom reads mystery novels. She sent me this one with a note saying it is interesting because it shows police methods. And you know what? It does. It’s a nice methodical murder mystery.
Good plot. Swearing and violence Deb Ralston is a police detective around 42 mother of three adoptive children the youngest is 15. She is also a grandmother and is now pregnant.
While out flying with her husband in private plane He spots a fire below and she looks into binoculars and spots mail truck with driver slumped over steering wheel bleeding. Tells her husband to land as close as he can.
Why would I let a cover bother me throughout an entire book? Maybe because one of the main ingredients of the plot is the switching of 2 green 1957 Chevys and the cover shows a red one. Drove me crazy. Other than that it was a decent read. I enjoyed the Postal Inspector angle and found a lot about the postal aspect accurate. That was encouraging.
