Having read Rejection by Thomas K. Matthews, I was looking forward to Premium Life and was not disappointed.  Bobby Jacobi,  an investigator for a life insurance company, has gotten used to his prosthetic arm which ends in a hook.  A former cop, he cannot get used to looking at his work other than as a tenacious,  seasoned cop.  In recovery now, his compelling need for closure proves frustrating for both his girlfriend and his AA sponsor who is also his boss.  Jacobi is a fully developed character who is both likable and irksome.  The other characters are less well developed, but I suspect we shall learn more about them in future books in what I hope will be a long series.  The plot is well crafted and keeps the reader interested.  If you like mysteries or detective stories, you will enjoy this book.
