I received a free download of "Heavy Metal" A Clancy Parker Mystery, from the author, P.J. Morse in exchange for a honest review. This was a very enjoyable book to read and kept my interest.Clancy Parker lives in San Francisco and comes from a wealthy family, but doesn't want handouts and wants to live her life her way. She is a guitarist in a rock and roll band, missing a bass player. But Clancy has another profession...she is a private investigator, and in order to pay the bills she takes on jobs accordingly.Clancy lives in a second floor apartment, with office upfront, and she plays guitar in her bedroom. Most of her jobs were following cheating spouses or insurance scammers, but then a job comes along that is different,a lost 2 million dollar necklace. Why not...she needed the money.When Clancy and Harold, her landlord and spiritual advisor, were sitting outside, a wealthy potential client, Sabrina Norton Buckner, approached Miss Parker and needed to speak to her in private. Sabrina tells Clancy that her 2 million dollar necklace is missing, and she needs her help in finding it. She said she didn't lose it, and she was going to give it away to her psychiatrist, Dr. Craig Redburn. The necklace disappeared before she could give it to the doctor. He was going to have it auctioned at Sotheby's and Sabrina was going to give him a quarter of the proceeds from the sale.But then Harold, Sabrina's husband, chancellor of UC Sacramento, requires Clancy's services. He knows his wife lost her necklace, but his wife hasn't been stable lately, and spends money like water, and even after going to a psychiatrist, she is still forgetful, and leaves her valuables all over the house. Harold tells Clancy he will pay her extra to keep an eye on his wife. Should be easy money.But the danger starts immediately. The storyline kept my interested and had me laughing at times. The characters were very believable and well developed.So Who is the culprit? You will have to read it to find out!
