Shadow Play

Laura Winslow Mystery #6

by David Cole

A computer hacker and registered PI, Laura Winslow has seen death before, but it never looked quite like the apparent murder-suicide of a reclusive Navajo and his female companion.A refugee from a violent world, Laura has become ensnared in an investigation she should steer clear of, joining her lover, policeman Nathan Brittles, in an attempt to make sense of a bloody puzzle where the pieces don't fit. Because the signposts on the twisted path to the truth warn of the impossible -- a demon, a skinwalker on the prowl -- as Laura Winslow follows a trail leading to the darkest corners of a gambling palace, chasing a phantom she cannot believe in ... until it's her turn to die.

Not much to say!😟

I don't know how books this badly written ever get published. There were grammatical mistakes, and one glaring error where the author's knowledge of details appeared in the mind of a character who had no reason to know these things. Authors are often too close to the manuscript to clearly see mistakes like this, so the editing has not been helpful to Mr. Cole.

Worst of all were the muddy motivations and odd conversations which didn't advance the plot or provide insights. I could not finish this book.

Not as good as the others I've read in the series.
