Despite trying to stay out of trouble, Shelby is drowning in
it. Her friend, Billie Jo, asks for Shelby’s help uncovering a corruption in
the District Attorney’s office. When burglars are sent to steal her flash
drive, Billie gets roughed up so bad she nearly dies. Unfortunately, the
corruption doesn’t stop there. When her friend’s niece, Chloe, goes missing,
things take an interesting turn when the girl shows up at Shelby’s house. After
witnessing a double murder done by a corrupt cop, Chloe turns to Shelby for
help and the two cases are linked. When an FBI agent from Uncle Joey’s past
comes in to solve the two cases, it becomes pretty clear that Shelby is
Crossing Danger at every turn. Can Shelby solve the cases and come out
alive? How do all the pieces of the
cases fit together?
Narrator, Wendy Tremont King is a great complement to
Colleen Helme’s book. Her unique intonations bring to life Colleen’s well
developed characters and Shelby’s world. The character dynamics were even more
developed in this book and added a lot of humor to the story. The plot is
complex, engaging, and keeps the reader guessing what’s going to happen next. The
author’s mix of action, mystery, romance, and adventure was well done and
extremely entertaining. The author
expertly switches between internal and external dialogue and King smoothly handles them with a mixture of humor
and pizzazz. Readers who have read the other books in the Shelby Nichols
adventures won’t be disappointed. Newcomers to the Shelby scene will be able to
easily pick up on the story line, but it is recommended people at least read the
one before this, because it builds on the last book. Recommended for anyone who
enjoys a fun, paranormal mystery with a bit of romance intermixed.
5 stars, ADULT
