Tanked

by Cheri Lewis

Where she and her best friend, Jessie, can go to Hands and Hooves for a well-deserved manicure and pedicure without being worried about the person stalking her. She ends up asking Tatum Osborne, a brooding, has-been detective, for his help. And he’s fighting demons with his own past. Join McKinsey as she tries to wade through the troubles of life, tackling the mystery that has arrived right at her doorstep. Can they find out who is stalking her before it’s too late?

Oh, gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh! I LOVED IT. I bought this book because the author is a Facebook friend, and I really hoped I would like it but I never expected to love it as much as I do. There is a wonderful rhythm the the writing and absolutely adore the characters.

Tan, Tatum Osborne, is wallowing in the pain from losing his wife and daughter several years earlier but when a friend sends McKinsey Morrow to him because someone is sneaking into her house, he begins the journey back to life. That is a really good thing because it turns out that McKinsey, whose life has always been filled with love and support, is now the focus of a serial killer!

This was an absolutely perfect book for me. The suspense was sound and the characters where awesome. Now I have to go back and read her first two books.

I was totally taken by this story. The writing style was good, the story flowed well, and the characters were terrific. The story was an interesting combination of things. I thought Mc Kinsey, the main female character, and her best friend Jessie, were a hoot! Mc Kinsey is in no way a pushover; I liked her “style” of usually facing things head-on and not backing down. The only time she doesn’t seem to do this is when it comes to her relationships (parents/boyfriend). This was a mystery/intrigue/romance. Someone is messing with Mc Kinsey and later we find that she has been targeted by a serial killer. Tank (Tatum Osborne) is the PI that is recommended to her by her boss. Overall, the dynamics between Mc Kinsey and Tank was written in a realistic way. This is the first time I’ve read a book by Cheri Lewis, now I’ll have to look for more stories by her.

Tanked by Cheri Lewis is a goodread. She creates wonderful and quirky characters and then moves them through the story with empathy and humor. Ms. Lewis does a good job of building suspense and tying up loose ends in Tanked. The sub-plots are interesting and one hopes that these sub-plot will go on to become major stories in their own right. A fun and entertaining read---perfect for a day at the beach or an evening by the fire.
