This is the first book I've read from the Jesse Watson Series, and it has grabbed me like a Janet Evanovich novel!  In this story, Jesse Watson is 32 years old, working for private investigator Billy Blackhawk.  They've been sitting in Billy's truck, in the freezing cold, watching Doug Tyler's house in the woods.  It's almost Thanksgiving and the snow has arrived early, falling almost a month now.  Tyler had hired Billy to locate some people who owed him money, one is a woman who was found murdered. Tyler was cleared of any suspicion, but Billy feels that Tyler murdered her after providing him with her location.  After Billy and Jesse leave their surveillance and head to Jesse's home, her mom and sister, Claire, are standing on the porch very upset.  Their two dogs, Athena and Thor, had been digging in the back yard and found a woman's severed hand, carrying it to the front porch. After the police arrive, the dogs lead them to the body in the woods on the Watson property.  Mary Keen, the wife of a former Green County deputy, has been missing, and it may be her.  This novel is a total fun read, it has everything:  murder, mayhem, suspense, horror, romance, humor, love... and it moves right a long keeping you wide awake into the night.  I loved it, it is totally absorbing like watching a high action thriller movie.  You'll enjoy it, too!
