This is an entertaining mystery. It is well written, well explained, flows smoothly, and has a large dose of humor in it. There is just enough mystery and humor to keep you at the edge of your seat through the entire book.The characters vary from totally believable to crabby or spoiled rotten. Jake's mother and father have catered to Megan for what seems, to me, to be all her life. She is a spend-a-holic who should have had her pants whipped long ago. Shall we even get into this is her 4th husband? No, I don't think so.  Janke's mother treats him like garbage.  She wakes him up at 2 a.m. and thinks nothing of it. If you say something to her about things she turns into the crab from hell.Jake Martin is trying to make the best of his life after getting divorced from his wife. He's in the throes of a midlife crisis. He gets a call from his mother at 2 a.m. to let him know his  father is near death and his sister has been arrested for the murder of her 4th husband. Jake leaves his Colorado retreat to head back to the Missouri Ozarks with his trusty dog Fred.I do recommend this book for ages 16 on up. It is an easy read and enjoyable as well. No sex scenes. Next to no cuss words.
