What starts as a simple missing person's case becomes one huge mess...literally. When Flynt and Steele take the job, they find that the missing persons case might very well be something much more sinister. Right away, the duo get a crash course in the world of extreme hoarders, which tests the bond that has been growing between them. And with their own struggles and demons in their personal lives rising to the surface, this might be the hardest test they've faced together.
As the leads all start to pile up and result in only more questions, there's more than one kind of mess to deal with. In perhaps the most high-speed Flynt and Steele novel to date, the detectives learn that some people keep all sorts of items among their piles and piles of treasures...including dark pasts and deadly secrets.
This is such a great series I never want the books to end. The two characters are so different but they are becoming friends as well as partners. Wonder what Flynt will do when his unicorn book is full. Maybe he'll find another one. He now has a woman and her son in his life. Steele is beginning to notice a woman at work and they continue to solve murders in their own quirky way. This one is about a woman found dead in a house that had been owned by a hoarder. It is a fast moving mystery and you never figure out the ending until the author wants to tell you. These are good reads for any age.
I've enjoyed this series and the great characters but book 6 is a clunker. The plot is okay but someone, author or editor, has forgotten in the last few chapters, how to spell the Captain's last name. Since that's the first thing that comes to mind, it's a major annoyance for me. Disappointing...
I can't seem to get enough of this dynamic duo. They are quirky yet relatable. I enjoy the story lines, (not too gruesome,) and the relationship between the two detectives. Download this immediately!!!
I left my review on Amazon, But this is a highly recommended read- the entire series is wonderful. (See Warren Keith (* and Author Micheal Maxwell) for the entire Flynt and Steele Mysteries books.) I have all 6!
Flynt and Steele are a perfect odd couple as detectives. Flynt looks like a caricature while Steele looks like a guy from Central Casting. Together they pursue a serial killer with a rising body count. Absolutely absorbing detective story.
