Razing Stakes by TG Wolff Book Review/Blog Tour

 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

Razing Stakes is book 3 in the De La Cruz Case Files, but can easily be read as a standalone. I would classify this genre as a police procedural … mixed in with some very interesting characters and a couple of different story lines happening in Razing Stakes.

Let me introduce you to Detective Jesus De La Cruz who starts out this story with a hit-and-run, the victim being Colin McHenry. While working to solve this case, Detective De La Cruz is called to the mayor’s office to work on a “special project.” Let me also introduce you to his girlfriend, Aurora Williams. She is a schoolteacher who happens to be suspended from her job. While suspended, she is temporarily working as a bartender and a freelance artist. Let me also introduce you to De La Cruz’s best friend, another detective, Matt Yablonski, and his wife Erin (who also happens to be Aurora’s best friend). With the main story, there is an underlying story involving Yablonski being involved in some other undercover work and there were some seriously bad dudes out for his blood. There are quite a few other characters in this tale that lend to the story in their own ways. Not to mention the romance between De La Cruz and Aurora (she calls him Zeus).

If you enjoy police procedurals, I am quite certain you will enjoy Ms. Wolff’s writing style. It is easy to follow and, in this particular book, I found it interesting the way in which she tied all of the stories together. I also enjoyed her portrayal of De La Cruz’s family relationships, as well as the Williams’ family relationships. Oh, and who can resist a book with a line like this: “Monday morning decided to come early again.” Another favorite line: “There is never enough cheesecake.” I think some of us can relate to these sentiments. The theme throughout: “Happy hunting, Detective.”
