I received a free download of "Jackie Blue" by T.G. Davis, to read on my Kindle in exchange for an honest review.This is a mystery/woman sleuth novel with elements of humor, romance and crime.I really liked it.Jackie Blue is a twenty-six year old private investigator who works in East LA. Her job usually consists of insurance fraud claims, individuals that are cheating on their insurance (WCB), WC fraud.I worked in the government at WSIB,for over twenty years, so this book was of interest to me.I found myself laughing seeing Jackie hiding behind bushes waiting to take incriminating pictures that will terminate the claim.But she needs this job to pay the bills and allow her to pay her younger sister Lucy's college tuition.Then her break comes when she gets a call from one of the insurance companies wanting her to check out a 1.9 million dollar stolen diamond claim.Mr. Andy Stewart claims 1.9 million dollars of diamonds was stolen at his house last month, and they need to find them.When Jackie picks the lock of the condo belonging to Mr. Stewart, she gets more than she bargained for... she finds a dead woman's body in the bedroom.She wasn't used to handling cases like this. She makes a quick call to her bounty hunter ex-boyfriend Hugh Barclay for help. Her best friend Rocky also becomes involved. After lots of gunfire, they started to fear for their lives. Would Jackie and her friends solve this jewel heist and make it out alive? A very surprising ending!This was a fast paced novel, with believable characters, that had you flipping the pages to see what would happen next.An enjoyable read.
