Life for detective Nattie Moreland just got more complicated. Her ex-husband just showed up with a bag full of diamonds, another in a long line of get-rich-quick schemes, and a diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder. Her mother just saddled her with a client who just might be guilty. And the list of suspects just keeps growing. Nattie could put it all to rest if she could just answer the question – Why Now?
Nattie Moreland is a detective. She receives a call from her ex-husband wanting her to help him with a case or two. He was a private eye, until he lost his license with one too many DUIs. She is undecided until he, Nathan, ends up in a mental institution, diagnosed with bipolar disorder and she is dragged into helping him by calling him every night to make sure he takes his meds. In the required meeting with his counselor, he pulls a bag of diamonds from his pants…. I liked the story and it has a good flow. At first I did not understand the reasoning for the story of John, told in red ink throughout the story. By the time I was a couple chapters I didn’t care. I hope to read more by CS Thompson! I like the style! I was given the opportunity to read Why Now?: The Night The Wolves Escaped From Bays Meadow by CS Thompson- by NetGalley.
