Lucas Dean is dead and, honestly, Maggie May Carver couldn't be happier. So when the cops can't figure out who did it? Fine by her.
But when a second person turns up killed in the same unique fashion, Maggie's interest is piqued. Sure, her cop husband will probably solve it without her help, but what's the harm in asking a few questions here or there? After all, if the cops don't want her help, they could always solve the case themselves.
This is another fun read in the series, and if you’ve enjoyed the rest, you’ll be pretty well guaranteed to enjoy this one too. The characters leap off the page as always, and the author has a wonderful ability to sketch them lightly with just a sentence or two, so that I can see them vividly in my mind. And oh, how true that people can be nice but not kind. The murder is the usual thing, except with a starring role for Maggie’s handsome hunk of a cop husband, Matt. I do like Matt… sigh. Four stars.
