Review: Another DeMaria success!

This is my fourth book by Lawrence DeMaria and I must say he never disappoints! I thoroughly enjoyed this Alton Rhode mystery. I was introduced to Alton's PI character in "Capriati's Blood" and was happy to see his character return. This story begins as we find rich girl Ellen caught at a murder scene with a "smoking gun". It looks like a pretty open & shut case . Alton is hired to investigate the possibility she didn't do it by the only person who thinks she's innocent, her father. Rhode does what he does best and looks for a needle in a haystack. I was completely surprised by the ending which is a big plus for me!!! There is also an interesting progression of his personal relationship. A nice mix of murder, mayhem, deceit and some good old fashioned love. All the components for a GREAT story.
