I just finished this book. It is a murder mystery starring Kathryn Dance, a California Bureau of Investigation investigator who is trained in detecting deception. She is also very hot hot and has a couple of adorable children.
The story is set in Carmel, California a beautiful spot with a lot going on, most of it suspicious. Roads being built in environmentally sensitive areas, a desalinazation plant, nuclear power plants, a mercy killing at the local hospital, and murders foretold by mysterious roadside crosses. All this is being reported by blogger, Jim Chilton on the Chilton report. It takes Ms. Dance a little time to figure out who is lieing a like a rug and who is telling the truth, but she figures it out in the end. If you are a crook don’t let her get a baseline on you, she’ll nail you.
This book has lots of twists and turns and I enjoyed it immensely. I give it 3 stars out of 4.
My wife is a great reader of mysteries. She has a habit of looking at the last few pages to see “whodunit”. I tell her that’s cheating and ruins the surprise. She tells me she wants to know where she is going and besides, it’s none of my business. She is right of course. Have a good weekend.
I will have to call the bookstore and see if they have this book…you have pique’d my interest in the book
I just might pick this one up next time I go out. Looks like an interesting read.
Three stars is good enough for me. I love mysteries!
I’ve never read any of Jeffrey Deavers books. You make it sound very interesting. Great job on your review Yogi!

@Tulsa Gentleman – Your wife might have a good idea. I sometimes hurry a book so much to the end I literally end up missing who did it. Sounds dumb but hey.
@Georgie – The bookstores will have it. If you can wait get on the waiting list at the library.
@Denise – Baloney – I really do recommend this book. A three rating is a good rating for me.
@Kathy – Thank you!
@Georgie – I can’t wait.
I read the first book in the series and liked it very much. I’m glad to discover the sequel has come out.
Now I just have to buy it.
