I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
This was my first introduction to Rolly Waters. Rolly is a private
eye and a sometimes musician, so his current PI gig is quite interesting - that
of locating a missing Stratocaster guitar. Rolly is a persistent PI in that he
will follow the clues he finds and if one direction doesn’t pan out, he takes
off in another. He came upon this missing guitar case through Lucinda, a nurse
he encountered when he was in the ER a couple years ago.
While working this case, Rolly runs into Roger Sledge who is a big
name in the music business. He also isn’t what one would call an upstanding
citizen. Mr. Sledge also has a history with Ruby Dean.
Ruby Dean and Lange Campbell. Both of these ladies are tied to the
past and the present. Two seemingly quiet characters.
Dmitri and his niece, Svetlana. They both add certain dynamics to
this tale which also help round the story out.
Moogus. He is another quiet background character. I just like his
name - Moogus.
Otis and Mavis. Otis is the tie to the past; Mavis, his sister, is
the tie to the present.
Otis and Gerry. Again, Otis is the tie to the past, and Gerry is
the tie to the present.
Rolly also has some intertwining connections to some of the
background characters he encounters along the way, which only adds another
layer to this tale, mixing the past with the present.
The interesting thing is how this particular crime happened and
who the real whodunit turned out to be. I enjoyed the way the past in this
story was tied to the present and how Rolly was able to piece everything
together. I also enjoyed the way this book ended … that was a total surprise,
along with a deeper meaning. It will be interesting to see what Rolly gets into
next.
