Fun, fast afternoon read. I love mysteries and the titled sounded interesting! I enjoyed the characters and their different personalities and that the story was set in a city which I have never visited. Nothing deep but a relaxing read!

This stand-alone is easy to follow. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Intriguing storyline of the murder of a female realtor. The steps taken to solve the crime were interesting. What I did not care for was the lack of professionalism within the police department and the failure to maintain control of the investigation. Very flexible procedures, actions and reactions. The characters and dialogue are okay, nothing memorable.

No desire to re-read this story. Remember this is my personal opinion and does not reflect on the author.

Only 151 pages on the Kindle, but written very well. Fleshed out characters so that you care about them. Good story, mixing the the thrill of the chase with tedium of police work, and bringing the story to a point that you are teetering toward the edge of your seat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet!

ML Hamilton continues her good works. She goes back and adds some more Peyton and Marco from the early days. No one who loves murder mysteries and delightful reading would not enjoy the antics of Peyton and the seriousness of a gorgeous Marco as they solve their cases by hook or by crook. Some parts serious, evolving in to the very serious side of life while bringing in the joyous, the two manage to survive all their ups and downs.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT SHORT STORY
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017

I love this series. Peyton, Marco and Abe are just such wonderful characters. Whenever Abe is involved, I know that I will be laughing uncontrollably. I am always waiting for the next book to be published, and they can't seem to come fast enough for me. I thought this was a very good short story. It kept my interest and me guessing who the bad guy was throughout the whole book.
