I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
This is book three in the Queen City Crimes series. If you have
not met these characters, I would recommend reading The Midnight Call and Hooker
Avenue to get a sense of their personalities.
Jessie - the young attorney. Jessie is pretty stubborn and tends
to get herself in a mess, only to find her way out again. She believes in the
system, but she also believes in finding the truth. This is especially true in
this tale of The Empty Kayak.
Ebony - a detective in Poughkeepsie, New York. She is also
Jessie’s best friend, or at least she used to be. To say that their differences
get in the way of their friendship is an understatement. They both want to fix
what broke in their friendship, they just can’t seem to find a way to do so.
Hal - Jessie’s fiancé. He is also involved in the legal system and
stands by Jessie, even when she chooses to shut him out.
Zander - Ebony’s partner. Their partnership has endured some
pretty rocky roads, but they stick by one another. Their relationship is coming
up with some even bigger challenges, but I suspect their paths will continue to
cross.
The Vargas family - if you want to read about some drama, check
this family out, most especially Olivia. She is what I would term a drama
queen. She is also very concerned about her social media following. Then there
are her parents, her brother, and her supposed ex-husband. These characters add
a certain flair, a certain dynamic to this tale of what happened surrounding
The Empty Kayak.
The consistency of these characters keeps me wanting to read more
about them and their adventures, especially Jessie, Hal, Ebony, and Zander. I
am quite certain they will be facing more adversaries while seeking out the
truth, even if they are seemingly on opposite sides sometimes.

Thanks for the review. This was fun - a run down of the players. :-)
