Ronnie Ingles is a toughened PI from Brooklyn who finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation in Texas. Unfortunately for her, its her own cheating husband who has been murdered. She and Deputy Dawson Hughes team up to solve the case, albeit sometimes reluctantly, but not before another murder happens and Ronnie’s own life is put in jeopardy. This engaging ‘who-dun-it’ is unconventional in that it is told in first person from both Ronnie and Dawson’s point of view. The characters are quirky, charming, and often humorous, and there is plenty of action and grit. I highly recommend this story for readers who enjoy a good detective story, well rounded yet fallible characters, and vivid descriptions. As a side note, ‘foodies’ will like this one, too.
