Dark Deeds

by Jill S. Behe

While on a run through the woods behind his house one Sunday morning, Decker Brogan and his pet lab stumble across a woman’s body.As the death toll rises, the chief of police (Levi Kincaid)—Decker’s best bud since grade school—asks for his help with the investigation. Decker’s background as a former Marine, and an agent with a private security company, comes in handy.Though the victims don’t seem to have any connection with one another, Decker’s late wife shows up unexpectedly and sheds a bit of light on that mystery. She also manages to freak him out at the same time.Teal Hannigan, head librarian, has had her eye on the sexy widower for some time. They’ve flirted back and forth whenever he moseys into the library. When he finally asks her out, she’s elated, but soon feels as though she’s landed in a combat zone. Still, their romance … buds, blossoms, blooms. Putting their heads together with Levi, they hash out possible suspects, motives, and a rudimentary plan to capture the killer. They also reveal a few surprises to the conservative police chief. A powwow, with Decker’s son in attendance, results in a more detailed plan, but it all hinges on whether the bait is enticing enough to lure the culprit.The showdown between law enforcement and the killer could go either way. Good thing the guys in the white hats have a contingency plan.

Enjoy MOST of this book.. Conversations were often 8th grade-ish.. Stilted- maybe it was meant to be that way. If you remember he had not dated for many years. You have murder, romance, psychic intuition and an lovable dog. I will look for another by this author and home the dialog between characters improves..

Intense and intriguing

From the start to the finish you can't put this book down. I read it in one day. Well written with believable characters and intriguing plots that keeps your attention until the end. Would recommend this for anyone who loves a great book.

Suspenseful mystery with a paranormal element. The story held my interest throughout the book. However,


I felt the part about Carin was basically ignored and in sensitively handled.
I would still recommend the book, as it was a good mystery.

Dark deeds indeed

The main characters were being stalked by a killer and they didn't seem at all concerned about that. Also romantic part of book was very sappy.

Overall good

I liked the story, but dialogue was painfully stilted. I also thought the ending was rather dull for a mystery. I think it needed more description.
