…and a body
A bitter dispute over the breaching of dams in Idaho sparks emotions at a summit held at the Spotted Pony Casino. When the keynote speaker is murdered, Dela Alvaro, head of security, teams up again with FBI Special Agent Quinn Pierce.
The suspects are many since it appears the victim was playing both sides of the controversial environmental issue. Did someone take advantage of a marital dispute… witnessed by a crowd of casino spectators? Or did an angry wife murder her husband?
Book 2 in the Spotted Pony Casino Mysteries has Dela Alvaro not only trying to keep her job by discovering the killer before word spreads about the murder, but she also has to deal with FBI Special Agent Quinn Pierce butting heads with her high school sweetheart who has returned to the reservation as a tribal policeman.
Customer Reviews
Great mystery, love the narrator
Dela is back with another murder investigation. Dela, being head of security at the casino, must work with FBI Special Agent Quinn and the Reservation police officer Heath Seaver. Since Dela has had a past with both men (although not not romantic) there seems to be an added layer of competition or tension between the three as the investigation progresses. Instead of working as a team they seem to be going in different directions. Will they get past this and solve the murder.
This is only the second book in the series however it is quickly growing as one of my favorite series. The characters are interesting, relatable, real, complex, and entertaining. Dela is a strong smart female protagonist. She and her newly acquired fur baby are both handicapped but they don’t let this slow them down. The mystery is well-written with plenty of misdirections and suspense. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
I listened to the audio version of this book too. The narrator has a wonderful voice. She really brings Dela and the other characters to life.
All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.
