Detective Jonny C. Speed’s life can’t get much better. He’s booked into the French Quarter’s most luxurious guesthouse, and his day job as convenience store manager is 104 miles behind him in Catherine, Mississippi. He’s already taken care of one pro-bono missing persons job since he’s been in New Orleans, and his paying client’s cheating wife is a beautiful and very accommodating exhibitionist. Are things too good to be true? Of course they are. Jonny starts to worry when his client turns up dead, but when the suspects start dropping, Jonny and his crack team of beauty queens, recovering addicts, professional athletes, computer hackers, and pampered dogs find themselves caught in a twisted scheme of revenge that threatens to turn the town of Catherine inside out.
Loved it, loved it, loved it! Each character was unique and well defined yet they all meshed well together in the story as a whole. I listened to the audiobook version of it and loved it!
I read this book several years ago and just loved it. It's such a shame that this writer hasn't gained more in popularity. Wish he'd write more stories.
This was a FABULOUS well plotted and written mystery thriller. I loved the characters and couldn't figure it out to save my life! The author narrated the book and did a great job. All of the characters popped off the ages and animated in my mind with the descriptive and energetic vocabulary in the writing. Definitely a book in my Top Ten favorites and recommended to anyone who wants an original. I haven't seen anything new from this author, which is the only bummer.
