Good Enough

by Otha Foster

Jeremy Tarkington had successfully advanced from his crummy case manager's job to a slightly less crummy job of training other case managers. It wasn't great, but it meant better pay and less hours, which might afford him an actual social life. He had developed a crush on a woman at his gym, but before he could act upon it, she became one of his trainees. Despite the trouble he would get in with Human Resources, he managed to find himself dating the woman, and bedding her. Then she disappeared. Jeremy soon finds himself involved with another woman who also disappears. The deception from these women lead him to discovering a series of murders that one or both of his one night stands might be the perpetrators, which leads him to involvement with a detective and a Texas Ranger. Before he can figure anything out, there are attempts on his life which one leaves him unemployed. His amateur sleuthing leads him to a resort that caters to rich people who practice polyamory and naturism. A long way from his conservative background and social worker ambitions.

Jeremy is in neutral. He's doing a job in West Texas he doesn't hate but doesn't love. Jaded, cynical, uninspired. For the first time ever, he breaks his rule and dates a workmate. She disappears and he's in trouble. Without meaning to he dates another new acquaintance and she disappears too. Evidence that one or both of these women may be murderers and then attempts on his life have Jeremy scrambling to make sense of a tangled web that seems to lead first to Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, then a gated community for the rich, entitled and influential in West Texas. Lies, lies - noone is as they seem....
Great drama, with some plot twists I totally didn't see coming, and I find myself growing to like Jeremy, as he starts growing to like himself.
Recommend.

The title is correct
An enjoyable read ... a little bit different to the Copper City stories ... but then not.
A nice way to while away an evening or two

Good plot that took a interesting turn . not really focused as much on nudism but a good read altogether
