The seventh book in author L.H. Thomson's Liam Quinn Insurance Investigator series, "Quinn Slips The Noose", is a very nice rebound from the previous couple in series that for me came off very flat. In this outing Quinn has regained some of his liveliness as a smart ass, and his financee Nora's character really shines through helping keep Quinn somewhat sane. The super wealthy Robert Rosenborg, father of five sons, and one daughter present Quinn with an almost impossible mystery to solve. Rosenborg's second son, Mitch was found dead in Florida from an apparent suicide inside of a totally locked room, and suicide note pinned on his hanging body. Rosenborg insists there is foul play a foot and hires Quinn to investigate his son's death at $1K a day plus expenses. Rosenborg had received a cryptic E mail anonymously telling him his son would commit suicide just before it actually happened. Soon Rosenborg receives a second E mail telling him another son will commit suicide as well. It seems almost crazy when very soon after warning son Stefan does apparently commit suicide. When oldest son Lars commits suicide after another cryptic E mail, this case is in total confusion. Quinn is stumped. The police have no idea which way to go either. The case really falls apart when Quinn gets a mysterious E mail predicting his brother Davy would soon die quickly. Incredibly yes, Davy is cut down by an assassin's bullet to the back of his head as Quinn is receiving this horrible message. I'd have to say for myself, I was pretty confused to how author L.H. Thomson was going to solve out the crimes and wrap up the cases. Quinn and Nora are stunning characters as they gush together with such serious emotions throughout this book. I think this was by far the best of the seven Quinn books to date. The story moved at a NASCAR pace, with highly strung characters who built this story into a solid mystery thriller. Why are Rosenborg's sons committing suicide ? What'll become of Davy ? Will he live ? Can he live after taking a bullet to the back of his head ? All excellent questions to ponder as reading along in the book. I had an absolute blast reading, "Quinn Slips The Noose",. Without question,a superior five stars out of a possible five stars, for this extremely enjoyable read. Quinn is really a very good mystery thriller series to pick up on. Set in Philadelphia, complete with all of Philly's quirks, and idiosyncrasies, that make this a blast to read having lived in the area all my life. I'd highly recommend this series for those who enjoy a gritty, sometimes funny, sometimes confusing, and always enjoyable read. Don't miss out !
