The Empty Kayak by Jode Millman Blog Tour/Book Review


 

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.
