I really enjoy reading about the adventures of Jonelle Sweet. Looking forward to the fourth book in the series. Will Jonelle and Burt finally go out on a date?

The Trickster, by the talented mystery writer R. Lanier Clemons, is an engrossing read. Private Investigator, Jonelle Sweet, is determined to discover the reason behind the mysterious death of a seemingly homeless woman. But as the intrepid investigator probes ever deeper into the case she finds herself enmeshed within a twisted labyrinth of deception. Nothing is as it seems as Jonelle unravels the tangled clues and searches not only for a cold-blooded murderer but a stolen satchel containing a small fortune. As you journey along with Jonelle you will find this book almost impossible to put down.
