Michel Doucette & Sassy Jones Mystery #5

by David Lennon

After two years of near-constant upheaval in their professional and personal lives, private investigators Michel Doucette and Alexandra “Sassy” Jones have finally found some peace. For Michel, in particular, everything is near-idyllic, as he and his boyfriend, Joel, build a life together and search for a new home for themselves and their dog, Blue. But when Michel receives a mysterious ransom note, things quickly change, and he and Sassy find themselves at the center of a police investigation. As old friends and enemies suddenly reappear, it becomes all too clear that the past isn't quite done with them yet.

Reviews

[Cecil · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice detective story.

[Dante · Rating 4 out of 5]

I waited to read this one until the next novel was in print. Painful and tragic but beautifully done. Hurt, but I am glad I read it.
