Another book I’ve had sitting on my Kindle for quite a
while.
The premise is a couple of bodies found in a basement of the
Beaumont estate. A fellow everyone called Bronco found them, and that was the
least of what he was expecting. The thing is … there was a depression next to
these two bodies that seemingly was for a third victim, but what happened? Why
were these bodies in the basement? Who, what, when, where, why, how? All of
these questions come into play.
I like these kinds of stories … ones that I would consider
police procedurals.
There was also an incident involving a husband and wife –
Nikki, a reporter, and Reed Pierce, her detective husband. Enter Pierce’s
partner, Morrisette, and what happened to her, and you have some marital
strife.
Nikki always seemed to get herself in trouble chasing a
story. This only makes Reed worry about her and what he is going to have to get
her out of next.
Enter Pierce’s new partner, a rookie that he wondered about
– Delacroix. There’s an additional story to Ms. Delacroix.
I have to admit, I sort of figured this one out, just not
the why of it all. Overall, I enjoyed this one. I enjoyed the mix of the good
guys versus bad guys, the discontent between Nikki and Reed because of what
happened, Delacroix and her backstory, and the ultimate conclusion.
