Kings Lake Investigation, Book 2
Everything is not what it seems
When the body of a vagrant is found in a storefront, the search is on for the murderer and for the identity of the man who died -- and the newly formed Kings Lake murder investigation squad is its first case.
Peter Grainger finished the story of D.C. Smith and has moved on to somewhat new territory. His new series of police procedurals is still set in Kings Lake and still features the characters we have come know and appreciate but things have been shaken up a bit. Cara Freeman has convinced the powers to be to let her field a murder investigation squad but Freeman is not an old school detective and has her own ideas about how the squad should work. The new series isn't just about solving murder mysteries but also about the interpersonal dynamics of the team and of how the team interfaces with the old school superior officers.
Like Craig Johnson and George Guidall, Peter Grainger and Gildart Jackson are an unbeatable team, first in the eight books of the DC Smith series and now in the Kings Lake series.
Four stars -- for the character development and the impeccable writing
