Dylan's wife has kicked him out, his mother has invaded his apartment and he's out of work. What will happen next?
Carina Press and Net Galley provided me with this ebook for review (thank you). The book is available as Mobipocket Reader or Adobe Reader editions.
Ms. Wells creates interesting characters. Dylan Scott is a private investigator who used to be a cop, but was framed and ended up in jail. His wife wants more out of their relationship, he's changed from the man she married. Their daughter is no longer communicating with them, but she's in college so that might be normal. And his mother spends all her time in her room at his apartment burning incense and doing who knows what in there...
Adding to the mix, you have a young woman who wants to find out what happened to her mother. She's been saving her money and Dylan has been recommended. He's not excited about a missing persons case, but he needs the money. However, trying to find someone who has been missing for thirteen years is no easy feat.
The characters lives are all interwoven, and as you read along, you wonder just who hated Anita Champion, a happy go lucky woman, enough to want to harm her. There's no end of suspects, several guilty parties, and no real hope for a happy ending when the mystery is solved. Ms. Wells keeps you turning those pages, though!
This was enjoyable mystery, good for a beach read or in a chair by the fire on a rainy day.
I look forward to reading more of Shirley Wells' work.
