Las Vegas Mystery #9
Rekindled
Alice James is back in Detroit helping her mother get situated in a nursing home. This leaves Jim Snow alone to investigate their first missing person case involving a wedding photographer who told everyone he was leaving on a photo expedition to supplement the book he’s been working on.
Snow’s not sure how to proceed with this case so he handles it like the usual homicide investigation he has experience with—since the probability of a missing person turning up dead is much more likely than anyone else walking the mean streets of Las Vegas.
Alice finally returns just in time to help out with the case and figure out Snow, as usual, hasn’t been paying attention to details—except when those details have to do with a woman’s body parts.

Another gentle mystery for the James & James agency in Las Vegas, written with a good degree of humour and wry dialogue. Initially a missing person mystery, this one builds up but then collapses to a weak ending

This is a first read for me with this author and I must say it is a quirky one, enjoyable, surprising and very entertaining for a mystery series. A set of strange relationships all round with the P I team of Jim Snow and Alice James and their complimentary skills, the rekindled relationship between Wayne and Jennie, and the friend Joy. Then there is Kurt, the shoeman. Wow, this kept me wondering if anyone has it all together.... The tunnels were a hoot. A good read with a lot of witty and fun dialogue and scenarios. Well done Rex Kusler

good story
His books are easy reading and very interesting to try to figure out who did it. I really like these characters as they have flaws.

Just as good as his others---
Kusler is my favorite author. I am retired and I read a book every two days, so I've gone through quite a few books. I would recommend this book to any one who likes murder mysteries and still appreciates laugh now then. For my own amusement I find something different and concentrate on it. He used six chuckles in this book I laugh every time I saw the word chuckles . I didn't count the ones in the other books he wrote but I noted them as I read the books. You don't usually see chuckles in many books:)

Last Vegas Mestery Series
I loved the books overall. I was not to happy. With the one that didn't have Alice in it and not give a reason why. I didn't like Snow's partner. If Alice hadn't been in the rest of the series I don't know if I would have read them.
The other thing I did like was Alice being called a. "Woman of color." There has to be a better term. When you say woman of color, it makes me wonder what color. Green, orange or what.
Other that, I loved the series.
