While on a blind date with a doctor
and his mama, Lucy Fong gets a call that her estranged mom is found shot
in the stomach, in her private investigation office. She returns to
Morro Cliff Village to search for answers and her sister... and finds
only a dead body in her sister's apartment.
When the local
police chief zeros in on her sister as a "person of interest," Lucy must
brush up her sleuthing skills. It's a race to find her sister, before
the police and the killer do.
She must use all her wits (and those, she can borrow) to find this hidden killer, before he strikes at her family again.
4.5 STARS
Well,that was fun! This was my first story from this author and into this series but I really enjoyed it. It was fun and funny with plenty of things that needed a sleuth to uncover.
Bosom Buddies was a cute term. And they did end up being partners in crime of a sort. Stella & Po Po make up that team. Po Po is the woman who chose to be an adoptive grandmother to Lucy and Stella was an actual relative. An aunt on the Faye side.
I liked the descriptive writing style like: Po Po hopped out (of the car) like there was a grenade strapped to her backside. In fact I enjoyed the whole flow of the writing.
You never knew what was going to happen, so totally unpredictable. Now, that is something that I like.
Let's not leave out Max, the town's sheriff, who was hard to get a handle on. He seemed to blow hot and cold with Lucy. But hey, he had a crime to investigate when it came to her family. And there were also were other things that were happening too.
Loved how the story ended but also left the door open for more adventures in the future. No cliffhangers in this story though so I'm also thankful for that.
I read this story through HOOPLA (Library App)
