Today's Mystery Monday entry shows a VERY ahrd working police chief, who defintiely needs a Labor Day off!
Synopsis:
Rural Pennsylvania’s Vance Township Police Chief Pete Adams is down an officer and has been dealing with extra shifts as well as a pair of bickering neighbors, one of whom owns a machete and isn’t afraid to use it. Golden Oaks Assisted Living is outside Pete’s jurisdiction, but a murder in the facility his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father calls home makes the case personal. Paramedic and Deputy Coroner Zoe Chambers has been itching for an opportunity to take the lead in a death investigation. She gets her chance when her boss is hospitalized and not only assigns her to the Golden Oaks homicide but puts her in charge of the county coroner’s office. As if she doesn’t have enough to handle, a long-lost, over-protective, older half-brother walks into her life threatening to drive a wedge between her and the man she loves. A second dead body leads them to realize the case may have dark ties to a distant past…and if Zoe doesn’t untangle the web of lies, Pete will be the one to pay the ultimate price.
Review:
This is the 7th book in the Zoe Chambers series, and I've nwo found a new series to sink my teeth into! Annette defintiely know the world she is speaking about- police the police and ems sides, which gives the book a realistic feel, and will have those who work in those fields, nodding along, as they turn pages. She gets all the quirks right, and the relationship between Pete and Zoe is honest and true to life. Even the mystery seems like something you would read about in the local papers! But there are enogh red herrings to keep you guessing and rapidly turning the pages. This is a fun, quick read, that you'll love!
