Read A Review:
Brandy Alexander has found herself once again plagued by more challenges than the average person. With her brother Paul announcing he is getting Bar Mitzvahed, her Floridian parents declare their intentions of not missing their thirty-year-old son becoming a “man” as well as their plans of staying with Brandy while in town. Her new job as piece reporter at a local cable television station has made her feel she’s entered forbidden territory with replacing the beloved Wendy who was fired. To top things off, not only is she counting pennies to survive, but her vehicle suddenly needs unexpected repairs.
Finally, a glint of hope appears when one of her co-workers, Tamra, not only speaks to her but invites her out to lunch, her treat. They go to the Walnut Street Inn, located in an old-world luxury hotel. Unfortunately, while eating, Tamra’s husband arrives, argues with his wife, and Tamra leaves the restaurant in a rush and the bill with Brandy. Could things possibly get worse? Absolutely. Tamra is found dead, and suicide is the apparent cause. However, Brandy doubts this conclusion and, against all warnings from her family and friends to stay out of it, she’s determined to find the truth at any cost. With the aide of her ex-boyfriend and police officer, Detective Robert DiCarlo and the sensual mysterious “Nick” she sets out to prove Tamra has met with foul play.
Once again, Shelly Fredman has put herself out there, giving anyone who enjoys a good mystery all the elements required to bring total entertainment between the covers. You’ll find colorful characters, vivid settings, humor, sexual tension, and suspense of the never knowing who to trust or what will happen next. Once I began this mystery, I found it nearly impossible to stop reading, turning page after page, waiting for that next heart thumping moment. This series is one at the top of my favorites list, and I’m sitting here once again, waiting for the next Brandy Alexander Mystery. I highly recommend this book to anyone who simply enjoys a well written fast paced book and if mysteries are your genre, then you’ve found a treasure.
