This is another addition to the Ronnie Lake mysteries. Ronnie is a wonderful P.I. protagonist accompanied by her dog, Warrior. In this case, she’s hired to find a missing college student and she finds out there’s much more drama involved within the case than meets the eye.
The pace of this story is well done and Ronnie investigates in a way that readers can solve it beside her. With the help of reluctant Detective Rossi, the two of them make a powerful duo and I’d love to see more of them in action together.
I enjoyed this mystery a lot though I felt as though the ending was a bit rushed. While everything is wrapped up nicely, I felt there could have been more after so much build-up. Still, this is a page-turner and definitely a book you’d want to pick up if you’re a mystery fan.
Rating: 4/5 Coffee Cups
