J.A Jance is one of my (Rob) favorite mystery writers and the latest in the series of Ali Reynolds mysteries is another winner. I read this book in about 1 1/2 weeks (amidst all the comics and graphic novels, magazines, newspaper, etc. I read) and it's gripping. You really feel for the characters and want to know what's happening with whom.
Of course, it opens with a murder of a haughty, selfish, snobbish woman, and it's hard to figure out who did it- but it all makes sense. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
THE BOOK SUMMARY: Former reporter Ali Reynolds finds herself working against the police to
add up the clues that connect one frightened teenager, two dead bodies,
and $300,000 . . . with the body count rising.
Hired to
investigate the grisly murder of a gold-digging divorcée on behalf of
the woman accused of the crime, Ali Reynolds is immediately drawn to the
case of the secretive teenager who found the body. A. J. Sanders was in
the Camp Verde desert to retrieve a mystery box buried by his absent
father—a box that turns out to be filled with hundreds of thousands of
dollars’ worth of poker chips. When a second body is found in the
desert, it seems the three cases are more closely related than anyone
could have imagined. Though Ali’s friends in the police department grow
increasingly irritated by her involvement, Ali must stop a ruthless
killer from claiming another victim . . . before she is lost in this
game of deadly stakes.
