Jobeth O’Brien and her partner, Phoebe McMasters, are enjoying
a peaceful life together on Manor Lane in Colorado after moving from Oklahoma.
Jobeth has her P.I License and has her own agency, AKA Investigations. Their new
start together is suddenly interrupted by ghosts from the past.
First of all, Jobeth’s estranged sister Izzy turns up out of
the blue. At first Jobeth and Izzy don’t appear to get on too well together. But
as they get to know one another, that changes. Izzy turns out to be more like
Jobeth than either of them thought.
Phoebe’s past comes back to haunt her. In fact, it causes
heartbreak for both Phoebe and Jobeth in a big way.
Ginger, Jobeth and Phoebe’s detective friend, has moved to
Colorado with them and occupies the cottage behind their house. Ginger is
looking for love. Will she find it? Ginger and Izzy appear to get on well
together. But Izzy is a lot younger than Ginger and she’s not into
relationships. Will Ginger get her heart broken?
It will take the ingenuity of all four of these women to get
rid of the ghosts from the past. But will they be able to keep themselves alive
to outwit the deranged felons?
Even though the plot to this story stretched my imagination a
bit, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the story.
I loved Jobeth, Phoebe and Ginger from Armchair Detective and
to have them back again is a true pleasure. Izzy has joined the three other
women and her character has fit right in with the others. They all interact so
well together and play an essential part in furthering the story.
I don’t want to add any spoilers in here, but suffice it say
that the story is a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns throughout. There are
so many ups and downs, the book is a real page turner from start to finish.
There is a mixture of humor, gut wrenching terror and
emotional heartbreak amongst the action and romance. If anything, this story is
even better than the first one. Both books are standalone, but I would strongly
advise reading Armchair Detective first. It gives more of the characters
background. Plus you would be missing out on another good book if you
don’t.
I’m hoping there will be another in this series soon.
