Sandy Reid Mysteries #1
One Deadly Sister
She doesn't carry a gun, but then neither does a pit bull.
When an almost-too-clever young law student in Philadelphia gets a life-or-death call from her estranged brother--she tells him to go to hell. She doesn't need this. She's holding an old grudge and resents having her life interrupted.
The brother doesn't come looking for trouble, he simply wants to get past his Philadelphia divorce and start a new life in Florida, but woman-trouble comes looking for him. Unfortunately, he arrives in the small Florida ocean side town just as someone murders the local gubernatorial candidate. The brother doesn't have a clue about women and gets seduced and framed. The brother hasn't bothered with his estranged sister up north for years, but now as a stranger in a hostile town she's his only hope.
She reluctantly decides to at least check out her brother's predicament in Florida. This small step leads the sister into an ever-increasing entanglement of deceit, double-cross, and danger, and she must somehow persuade the irresistible investigating detective to play things her way.
ONE DEADLY SISTER is the first book in this popular women sleuth mystery romance series. Followed by THE PRICE OF CANDY, SUCH WICKED FRIENDS, CHASING SUSPECT THREE, ALIVE AFTER FRIDAY and INTO THE HEAT.

This was a really good read and not what I expected at all. It had me guessing all the way through. It's well written and filled with twists. The characters are well developed and likeable. This book held my attention throughout.

I chose this book to meet criteria for a book club - Off The Shelf Covers: Body Without Clothing in September. The cover shows a person without clothing floating face down in a swimming pool.
I occasionally enjoy reading a good mystery or story with suspense. This was my first book by this author, and I look forward to reading more.
The main characters were well developed and I would be able to easily pick them out on the street or at a social gathering. You could feel the tension between Raymond Reid and his 'little' sister, Sandy.
Raymond, accused of murdering a politician in Florida, phones his estranged sister, who is a law student in Philadelphia, and asks for her help. The plot has lots of twists and turns and a few red herrings, and totally 'drew me in.' It was a genuine page turner and I couldn't put it down.
Was it because I had just finished reading several 'deep' books and this work of fiction was like a breath of fresh air? Was it Roy Hoisington's talented writing skills and great attention to details? I gave One Deadly Sister (Sandy Reid Mysteries, #1) a solid 4 stars.

I gave up on this book. I only downloaded it because it was a free and the few reviews I saw were positive. At this point I believe those reviews were written purely as promotional devices.
I gave it a chance, forced myself to keep reading, but honestly its just not very good. I was several chapters in and still did not care about or even like the characters. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural, like the author is just writing filler until he can get to his point.
I would not recommend this book to anyone.

This is a terrible book.
Let's start with the characters. They all sound exactly the same, all the time. Not only can you not tell who's speaking by how they speak, you can't even tell how they're feeling. Take any bit of dialogue from anywhere in the book and try to guess who said it and you'd pretty much be guessing blind.
And as the robot devil said, you can't just have your characters say how they feel, bet that's exactly what Hoisington does. He has absolutely no idea how to convey emotion or tone through dialogue, so he just flat out tells you how you're supposed to interpret it. This extends to the way characters are perceived; he couldn't make the protagonist (Sandy) actually charismatic, so he just repeatedly told us she was.
It's not just a problem with the dialogue either, none of the characters are remotely believable. The good guys are just amazingly upbeat, determined and forceful, while the villains are cartoonishly evil. The primary antagonist, a prosecutor who's trying to get ahead by convicting a high-profile criminal, just goes out of his way to be a dick. He actually flat-out states that he wants to convict the guy (Ray) whether he's guilty or not, even though he has absolutely no reason to be so hell-bent on going after that particular guy.
The other problem there is Hoisington's absolutely abysmal lack of legal knowledge. If he'd watched a few episodes of Law & Order he'd have been able to avoid the obvious mistakes he made all through this book. Every couple of chapters I'd find some new reason to think "No, couldn't happen. This would be thrown out of court." but actually it would never even have gotten that far as the whole premise falls apart right from the moment Ray is arrested.
Ray is arrested on the basis of a tip-off by the victim's former-assistant. Ray has no known link to the victim other than that the assistant has said she thinks he might have done it, because he was at the victim's house earlier in the day. Despite there being several other potential suspects, all with far closer connections to the victim and actual motives for the crime, Ray is immediately arrested. Then forensics show that there was at least one other person in the victim's house after him, and a witness puts a third person there still later. The evidence that he didn't do it continues to pile up for chapter after chapter, and all the while the police chief and prosecutor continue to investigate only Ray.
Then there are the other sub-plots, like the romance between Sandy and the only detective working on this high-profile murder, the uniformed officer who tries to rape her (a sequence that seems to be there just to try to show how tough she is but actually just shows yet again how dumb and unrealistic everyone in this book is) and gets away with it because the evil prosecutor somehow protects him for some reason, the former-mechanic lesbian journalist whose secret past serves to add a couple of completely pointless chapters of speculation that goes nowhere, the Cuban gangsters who also add a couple of chapters of meaningless bullshit and give Sandy yet another opportunity to prove she's tough. For such a short book it certainly packs a lot of action in. It's just a pity that none of it is in the least bit gripping or even interesting.
If this book has even one thing going for it, and that's a big "if", it's that at least it's short.

There may be spoilers in this review. They are minor, and, trust me, they won't spoil much.
This book was terrible. The story was all over the place, and the characters were completely unbelievable. Being a Florida criminal attorney, who happens to have grown up in the Tampa Bay area, I was extremely disappointed with the blatant inaccuracies. The police and court procedures were just wrong. I almost began bookmarking every page that contained inaccuracies so I could refer to them later, but then I realized that I just didn't care that much. Basically, every time police or court procedures are mentioned, they are incorrect. One of the most blatant violations, is that the "detective" arrested a suspect for the murder, he was denied bail, then, the police continued to look for suspects. No. Just no. Don't even get me started on how the "suspect" was arraigned within two days of being arrested on a Capital case without a Grand Jury Indictment. No. Just no.
As if the legal inaccuracies weren't bad enough, there are so many cultural and local inaccuracies, that I just had to laugh. When you think Cuban Mafia in Florida, Miami, not Tampa comes to mind. At least not present day, and definitely not 2009 when this book was published. Also, I happen to have family that is "Cuban-American," I even have an Aunt Linda on that side. Notice how I spelled her name L-I-N-D-A, and not L-Y-N-D-A. Having been a lawyer for over 5 years, I have also come into contact with many different names, lots of those being Hispanic. I have never seen that particular alternate spelling of the name Linda, because it is not the "Hispanic" way to spell it. The "Cuban-American" and "Hispanic" references, were almost insulting, and I don't offend easily.
To sum up, do NOT read this book. It will be a waste of your time. I am so glad that it was a free eBook, because if I had paid for it, I probably would have cried. It certainly didn't get me interested in reading anything else written by this author (who may want to spend some time in a law library boning up on simple procedural matters). Had I not challenged myself to read 100 books this year, and didn't want to lose the time I had already spent reading it, I would never have finished it.

I picked up Hoisington's One Deadly Sister as a free Kindle book. I had been encouraged by the positive reviews it received. After only a few chapters in, I had to put it down. Usually I can finish a book, no matter what I find wrong with it - no so in this book's case. The author starts with what promises to be an interesting plot involving deception, murder, and plenty of sneaky untrustworthy people; however, he soon lost my interest. My biggest issue with this book are the characters. Not a single character was believable or likable. The actions and dialogue of his cast of characters are so exaggerated and stilted that you could never imagine it being done or said by an actual person. This is definitely not a book I would recommend to anyone.

Started off a little slow due some editing issues, but story line was good, and enjoyed the storyline very much

A very creative and enjoyable first novel, Rod Hoisington has created a complicated whodunit with red herrings to spare. At the basic root we have the remaining two members of a family, a brother and sister, who have had no real contact since the day their parents died several years ago. In fact, sister Sandy is living her well-ordered life quite satisfactorily, thank you, doing legwork for a highly respected law office. A late night call brings her brother Raymond back into her life like a slap in the face, she has all but disowned him and the call is like a blast of ice. He is calling from a Florida jail in a small town, with a murder rap hanging over his head. Sandy is determined that in no way is she going to help him, she is still too angry about his lack of support for her when she needed it.
A quick look at the News, and she starts to get second thoughts. Too many questions, Ray is not the type to murder anyone, much less a high-profile Senator. Confusion reigns as she arrives to find her brother being railroaded through the system so that State Attorney Moran can win a famous trial whether his "held in custody" suspect is guilty or not. Moran is ignoring the many other possible suspects and zeroing in on his target, creating a case for conviction. A stranger in town? What a break for him, everyone will hate this guy Ray for assassinating their Senator!
From this point on, there are misunderstandings, misdirections, underestimations, especially underestimating Sandy, a pit-bull in a sexy body. Ludicrous statements and outright lies are flying everywhere. Not only are there lots of twists in the case itself, but in the many strange relationships that show up here and there throughout. This book is written almost tongue-in-cheek and I loved it. It grabs hold of you early on and you can't get away from it. The action suddenly takes off with a few diverse leads and builds very quickly toward the final setups, lies and implausibilities that give the reader a sense of fun and satisfaction as the story finally wraps up all the loose ends, finding more to deal with than meets the eye. I will definitely be looking for another novel by Rod Hoisington!

Before I reached the last several chapters of this book I was sure I was going to give it a four star rating at least. It was fun, funny, fast-paced, and with an interesting cast of characters.
Then, the wheels seemed to come off and in a number of different ways. I had the sense that the author was in a hurry or at least was very excited by that daredevil rumble down the last hill that some of us experience when writing a novel. The number of typographical and grammatical errors soared. A bit of careful editing would have solved that, though. Of far more import was the way the story went from complex but intriguing to unbelievable in the course of about two chapters.
I was tossed out of the novel by the convolutions in the plot (which seemed to get away from the author toward the end), the ultimate shallowness and inconsistency of the characters and their relationships, and most of all the way the allegedly savvy and deadly sister, Sandy, and her put-upon brother, Ray, believe pretty much anything anyone tells them, even after the people telling the tales have been caught in a series of lies and worse.
What I took for clever play-acting on the part of the protagonist to get suspects to trust her turned out be legitimate emotional outbursts and real confidences shared with people a savvy, smart woman had no business trustiing.
To say more would be to give away plot elements and I don't want to discourage readers. There is much to like about One Deadly Sister. And I like Rod Housington's rapid fire dialogue and the way he set up the mystery elements. I was simply unable to continue to suspend my disbelief through the last chapter.

This book was very interesting and surprising. It was just like watching a movie in my mind like one of those Lifetime movies. The twists in the book I wasn't expecting to happen and it was suspenseful. I thought it was messed up that the 70 year old lady used Ray Reid. Then the sister comes to help and she is really good at what she is doing. Sandy Reid, the sister, risks everything to help her brother that left her as a teenager. Also, the cop that lost his dad while being a cop and now he is only a cop to be just like his dad and stay connected with him. Then, people lie and have secrets about the murder. Everybody was involved in trying to solve the murder case. The media was all over the case and causing lots of chaos. You also find out that Cuban people are getting involved with the case and trying to kill Sandy Reid and the cops. There are affairs involved and love gets in the way of solving the case. But, Ray Reid has a good lawyer and tries to help him get out. Also the cop that molests women to get what he wants but, then gets caught in the action by the media.The cop then embarrasses the rest of the cops and lies about everything, but Sandy Reid doesn't have any evidence to show in court.

I would have given this book 4 and a half stars. I LOVED this book! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was how quickly the book ended. It sort of tied up too neatly and quickly. I loved the writing style. It was fast paced from the beginning! There were times I was upset that I had to get pulled away from the book. Very neatly written and will read the next book in the series! I love Sandy. One of my favorite characters to date!

its a nice murder mystery kept me guessing till the end. I thought the character Sandy would have a bigger part as it called sandy reid mystery. Did not like proscuter and a few other characters in the book.
I would be willing to read more books in the series. See what happens next to Sandy.

I thought this book was terrible, I've read a lot of these types of stories, it felt disjointed and I couldn't connect with the characters at all, there were inconsistencies also and it just didn't draw me in at all. I don't often leave bad reviews but the only positive was a nice book cover.

Reviewed by Michele Tater for Review The Book
The book “One Deadly Sister”, I felt is a murder mystery at its best. The author takes you on a who-done-it ride which includes the introduces of several characters, which can be likable as well as unlikable. These people all have their own dirty laundry and guilty pleasures that play out with every turn of the page. It is also a look at how a innocent man can be so mix-up in the lives of others that he is arrested for a crime he did not commit, or did he.
Even though there are several characters in this story, they are skillfully developed and can be easy followed. The main character Ray seems to be the man with the worst luck ever. I felt bad that he has was being used as a pawn in everyone’s game where he had no game in anything. Even the police department, along with the state attorney, just wanted to nail Ray’s coffin and be done with it. Since I is have worked in several law firms in the past and have a Paralegal Degree , I was able to identify with Ray’s sister Sandy. She came across as one tough cookie that would not take stuff from anyone, including the law enforcement individuals who were handling her brothers case. There were also characters I loved to hate, for example, Loraine who thought she could wiggle her way out of anything, and believe me she tries a lot.
I would recommend “One Deadly Sister” to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with many plot twists and of course some turns added for a good measure of suspense. Although I was trying to figure the who did it part, many things were not what they seemed. So you really have to read the book all the way through. No fair peeking to the end either, its well worth the wait. There is brief sexual content, mostly pg rated. It also has a great and realistic story line that will keep you guessing till the end.

What an AWESOME book! I must admit, I got this book when it was free on Barnes & Noble last year because I thought it might be interesting and couldn't go wrong with it being free. I am certainly glad I took the chance! The righting is excellent and the characters are warm and personable. It is definitely a page turner and I stayed up late last night to finish it! I loved it so much, I immediately went shopping on my Nook and purchased the next two available in the series "The Price of Candy" and "Such Wicked Friends". I'm really excited to begin reading the next one and find out what mystery Sandy Reid is going to solve! I highly recommend to mystery lovers!

My reading of this one was drug out as I only read it when on the treadmill and the arrival of spring as me doing more cardio on my bike than on the treadmill. Add to it training for a 5k and being unable to read while running on the treadmill and progress slowed dramatically. Often when it takes me a long time to finish a book it is because it isn't that engrossing. Not so in this case.
I really did no have a clue who the real killer was in this one. Oh, at one point I was convinced it was the person who was at fault, but I had decided on several other people too at different points. There were many twists and convolutions to this plot, perhaps just a titch too many to feel natural. But the characters were interesting and the action intense at times so I didn't mind too much. I definitely think I'll give the second book in the series a try at some point.

So, this book starts off with this preposterous reasoning on this seeminly educated, yet naiive man who learns of a supposed murder, knows that he could be named an accomplice, yet he doesn't immediately run to the authorities. Of course he's arrested and the story continues from there. It's a quick read, but even after Ray is released he's still a sucker for a pretty woman wnen one has been after him the entire book.
There were some fairly funny parts in the book and perhaps if he had made it more of a parody it would have been easier to appreciate. It wasn't my favorite book, thought it was a VERY easy read, I just found it more predictable than anything and a bit over-the-top in beliavability.
Hope you enjoy!

What a great story line! The twists and turns had me guessing right up to the point where the killer was identified. Sandy has a telephone call from her older brother who has been arrested and charged with murder in Florida. Initially she does not respond to his plea for help. But without too much delay, she does decide to leave her job in Philadelphia and bring her investigative skills to his small town. The cast of characters includes both old and new money, politics, and nepotism. There is a chase scene, a few deaths following the original murder, and some nationalistic slurs against Cuban Floridians.
I won't give away the ending by telling you more, but I do give this five stars. Beyond the intrigue of the mystery, it is a true pleasure to read a well written book on Kindle!

As the book gets going you start to wonder if this is how it's going to read, do we really have to read about this rather idiotic character who simply doesn't know when to shut up or leave well alone.
Basically he seems to deserve most of what he gets, which is jail time!
He calls his sister: she doesn't want to know him.
But she turns up anyway. And this is where the fun starts. She's assertive, inquiring, nosy; you name it.
This is the first book in a series that looks as though it will be great fun. The sister isn't Stephanie Plum; she's much more serious than that, but it's somewhat in the same vein.
I hope the future books are as amusing.

Although I did enjoy reading the book, I can't understand why a sensible person would continue to cooperate with a woman after she has told him that she killed a man. The whole rest of the plot is predicated on his actions following this revelation. Instead of goint to the police he just continues to plasce himself in deeper and deeper trouble. Again, why would you go to someone's home and when the person you expect to see is not there you don't even bother to explain exactly why you are there by mistake. Far fetched reasoning but still an interesting enough read.

Crazy rich women
I hope this story isn't accurate for Florida. There's 70 yr old women in bikinis and dirty cops and Cuban mafia. Ray is just a dull divorcee who gets caught in the schemes of crazy rich women. He lands in jail accused of killing a very important man. Luckily for him his estranged little sister is willing to help him. Sandy is one feisty woman. She wants to hate her brother but he's all the family she has and can't let him go to prison when he's innocent. I'm reallu interest in what happens with the cop, Chip.

Not the best book-not the worst.
An okay read.
Story line was decant, kept me guessing who did it till towards the end.
Love story is not the greatest or even good.
I would give a decent EGH.
This is mostly fluff; and you can either take it or leave it.
Not one of the great literary works; but a decent read.

This book is pretty hairbrained. There's a 70 yr old seductress who messes with Sandy's rather dumb big brother and then winds up being framed for murder. It's got some funny parts. Sandy is quite the whirlwind and she makes a lot of enemies during her investigation. She also makes a lot of friends who help her when they can. I enjoyed the craziness but some things are just too unreal.

awful, awful, awful -- annoyingly bad....
July 26, 2015
*The shorter the review, usually the better the story in my opinion. When they're this long, the author left too many questions, wrote stuff that made no sense/add up or incorrectly.*
This story is a perfect example of why I would never go to another country, or most anyways. You being a stranger, not knowing all the rules and whatnot, you end up getting in trouble for either something really stupid or not your fault like Ray.
Anyways, this was an interesting read. It had me guessing as to who was the actual killer right up till the end. I didn't really feel connected to any of the characters though, they seemed to all be basically the same. It must have had something to keep me interested though since I did manage to finish. Sadly, it's books like this that kill me. I mean it's like no one bothered to really this this and see all the mistakes that are throughout it. I mean so many inconsistencies and questionable things...I'd much rather type up a short review.
Questions/Comments:
Sandy was so annoying. I mean, her brother wasn't around when she was stuck in juvie 10 YEARS PRIOR! I mean get over it already! How many times did she have to bring it up? But that whole situation makes no sense to me. "When I got to the age where I might help him, he was already off to college...maybe with clothes or how girls thinks..." (How old was Ray when he left for college? We know Sandy's 26 and Ray's 40. Typically someone leaves for college say between 18-20. Ray is 14 years older than Sandy. So that would have made Sandy around 6? Am I missing something here? The timeline just doesn't add up for me. So how old was she when she was doing drugs?
Ray is thinking about Meg and how, "She wasn't afraid to discuss serious subjects such as art and antiques." (Um, how are those considered 'serious subjects?' I thought religion and maybe family would be serious.
Prior to Loraine making her story up, she's laying on the bed naked. We're told earlier on that it's November and obviously the story takes place in Florida. Yet Ray notices that "Her tan hadn't started..." (What exactly does that mean? You'd think by November if a female was going to get tanned, she'd be tanned by then.)
Why it is when two characters are suppose to be talking about something important, they have to first have some random chit chat? Like when Ray shows up at the Senator's apt to find Tammy, yet they end up talking about china for a few hours...Or Tammy being asked if she has a gun and goes on about when she was younger, blah, blah, blah. I get the gun comment was relevant later on in the story but still. There were numerous situations like this. Which ended up being really annoying!
What was with everyone constantly wondering about the image of Loraine wearing a thong? I mean, yes she's like 70, but if she looks younger and keeps in shape then who cares?
After Ray gets burned he goes to the drugstore to get first aid. "Ray pleaded for one stray, by chance leftover tranquilizer..." (A tranquilizer? For a hand burn? Seriously?) The hot coffee had been in a teacup! It's not like that much liquid can fit into one of those cups.
When Ray's telling the police about meeting the Senator at Meg's party, how does he not remember her last name? I mean he talks about her like he likes her, she comes by his office EVERYDAY! for some unknown reason to him, but he doesn't know. I find that hard to believe. It's not like he was getting tons of female attention.
What took the cops (Goddard) so long to talk to the people that Ray said were involved with what was going on? I didn't get that. If the spouse or ex, is usually at the top of the suspect list why did it seem to take so long before she was questioned?
-------------------------
MAJOR MISTAKES: How the author missed these, no clue. But of course I don't!
#1
So Sandy meets Goddard the first time when he pulls up behind her in the parking lot. She ends up wondering what color his eyes are. "He took a deep breath and removed his sunglasses...Loved his steely eyes." This is on my kindle and Page 78. But then later on Page 108 "She had yet to see his eyes." (WRONG!) I was actually surprised the author didn't suddenly have a different eye color for Goddard. That would have been funny.
#2
Sandy ends up waiting for Norma outside her restaurant. Goddard asks her "'Where are you now?' 'The Jardin...She said she couldn't talk inside because someone is always watching her. She told me to wait outside.'" (Seconds later) "'Where are you anyway?' 'She couldn't talk inside because someone is always watching her'...waiting outside, blah, blah, blah. (How did the repeating happen and no editor notice?)
-------------------------
Goddard meets with Norma Martin. He asks her where she lives. She tells him she lives with the cook on Banyon Street. We assume he had already typed in Norma's name (in the directory), hence no address. He tries again suddenly there's her name and address. ?
Why did Loraine bother lying so much when finally questioned about meeting Ray at Meg's party? I mean all the cops had to do was go talk to the other party goers and find out the truth, to a degree anyways. I mean the fact she said that he "kept calling", when they just had to check her phone records...yet in the end, they never did check out anything she said. Strange.
If Sandy is trying to find evidence that will prove her brother is innocent, how does that work? I mean wouldn't it be against the rules or something since they're related? I can't remember what the term is...
Questionable phrase "She lifted her skirt, and you charged off to tilt at windmills." (Excuse me?)
Moran was....IDK what. How was he still a state prosecutor? I mean he's obviously not doing his job correctly and the police know this. There had to have been something they could have done. The fact that he refers to Ray as a hitman? Really? What would ever make any of them think Ray was a person paid to kill someone else? At least with the love triangle thing, which would have made a little more sense, the hitman angle was too much. Aren't hitmen usually more in the background? Not running around talking to all these people?
Sandy tells Goddard that he doesn't talk or walk like a cop. More like a lifeguard. (haha) It's funny because he says he had been a lifeguard! "I was, right here on this beach. Summer before I went off to college." (Just ONE summer! Now I can't imagine a single summer would have changed your walking and talking that much. I mean how long has he been a cop?)
"Sandy said, 'You're a plain black coffee kind of guy.' 'What kind of guy is that?'" (Seriously? You'd have to ask?)
"She struck a pose with one hand on her hip and stared at him." (Now I can imagine this pose when the person is standing! Considering they're both sitting, how would her putting her hand on her hip mean anything?)
The gun box was found with Tammy's prints on it. She had found the box in a bag, in her closet. "An empty toy box someone stuck in there at some store thinking it was trash, or something." 1. Why would other people be putting stuff in your closet? 2. If it's trash, again, why put it in someone else's closet? Tammy just seemed way too stupid there.
Weird moment. So Sandy goes to sleep and ends up dreaming that Pirro is dead on a sword? Really? Why was that even brought in?
Linda and Sandy have a sit down and tell each other all the secrets they've found out. Sandy ends up SHOWING Ray's statement he made showing all the names of the people involved. Why did Sandy have the statement with her? I can see her just telling Linda the names but physically having the paper with her?
The girl that ended up coming forward against Huress. That was weird too. I mean the way it's written "Every day when she looked at the clipping the whole nightmare would come back." Makes it sound like she had the clipping for a while and not just like what? a couple days?
Sandy said she was going to move to Florida but had to go back to Philadelphia to finish some stuff up. First off "Like a certain guy who has to move or take over my lease." (So she had a bf there? Yet he was never mentioned at all?) Then she's bringing back a new miata? How much money does she make to where she get a new car like that again? I mean she was doing the grunt work in PA? I just can't imagine she was getting that much money.
So the police are called to Loraine's house because the bug guy is dead in her pool. How did they get a search warrant? I understand how she ended up getting arrested. There should have been no reason for them to go into the house, hence no evidence or anything to allow them to get a warrant.
The fact that Tammy supposedly fell in love with Ray after one night? Or let me rephrase, she fell in love with him during THAT evening. So after a couple hours and she was hooked?
The Senator, Loraine and Tammy thing, it was kind of too strange/coincidental to me. Like this all took place the same time. Loraine gives the bug guy the money and gun, the Senator gets killed, and Loraine assumes it was him but really it was Tammy.
This story is a perfect example of why I would never go to another country, or most anyways. You being a stranger, not knowing all the rules and whatnot, you end up getting in trouble for either something really stupid or not your fault like Ray.

After a marriage breakup, Ray Reid moved from Philadelphia to a small town in Florida. But after a month, he was invited to a party by a colleague where he got entangled with the ex-wife of a state senator. Some time later, the senator, who was a candidate for governor, was found shot in his apartment. Ray became the prime suspect as he had visited the senator on the day he was shot. He rang his sister, Sandy, a law student and assistant to criminal lawyers, for help. But with a police chief looking at retirement, a gung-ho detective, a hot-shot state attorney destined for higher office, and the townsfolk riled up by the media, what chance does Ray have of getting a fair investigation or trial? Can Sandy cut through the nonsense to free him?
I was uncertain about this book when I started it originally and put it aside after a few chapters. Four years later, I picked it up again, struggled through those first few chapters again. But then I found that I was hooked. This was a first rate mystery, it has a delicious twist at the end, and was well worth the struggle at the beginning. I gave it 4 stars out of 5.

An odd one. Very generally speaking it’s a decent plot, with enough false leads that should have kept it interesting. It’s just that it wasn’t terribly well executed. The book just doesn’t flow, the writing style jars a bit here and there, and there are times I lost track of who was speaking. It didn’t feel like an easy read, and yet it should have been a page turner.
I don’t have much to take away about the characters either, just vague impressions. The Sassy sister as the main character should have been pretty vividly painted, but instead you just get a general idea of what she’s like.
Then there is the whole arrest, which is based on flimsy evidence (think REALLY tenuous). If that’s the case then every character in the story should have been put behind bars!! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!
Yeh, nah. Not enough for me to continue the series.

So not for me
I was looking forward to this, but after the first chapter, where we see the fractured relationship between the siblings, we spend the next six plus coaters reliving the lead up to the murder from the brothers pov, and it was boring.
I didn’t connect with any of the characters, they were all a bit bland, selfish and uninteresting. I thought the brother was just a selfish character. Geez, he couldn’t even be bothered to visit his sister in a bogus juvie rehab (an act which would have gotten her released three months early!), and his sister, the MC, Sandy, was still holding a major grudge, okay deservedly so, but still, it didn’t make for an enjoyable atmosphere.
1.5 stars ⭐️

A long lost brother gives a call to his sister. They haven't spoken in years, now he is in prison and she is a law student. However, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, as she holds the grudge from a long time ago.
And yet, family is family. She comes to Florida to try and help her brother. This is when all of the action starts. The mysterious details gets weirder and weirder by the page. I kept guessing how a person can act in this way or another. The end of the book was unexpected and nicely twisted. It's an easy read for a myserious little adventure.
So what did I take from this book to myself?
Don't underestimate a small young attractive girl. She for sure can be deadly.
