Review: Someone Murderous at The Midnight Motel (The Accidental Detective Series) by Kris Bock


 

She didn’t anticipate a career change at fifty…

Forced to leave her celebrated career as an international war correspondent after an injury, Kate Tessler now dabbles in detective work in her Arizona hometown. She and her sister, Jen, need to take any job offered if they want to become true PIs. When Jen’s college friend asks them to investigate suspicious activity at a motel he inherited, it sounds like a free vacation with a little surveillance thrown in.

But when Kate’s hot flashes wake her in the middle of the night, she wanders outside to cool off and stumbles over a dead body. Soon they’re caught up in their toughest—and most dangerous—case yet. Kate and Jen can’t trust anyone at the motel or the local police force they suspect of corruption. Good thing they have their eclectic senior sidekicks to share the undercover work.

The lies pile up, the villains multiply, and the motel is hiding more secrets than they ever imagined. When they finally get a break in the case, Kate needs to ensure she and Jen aren’t collateral damage.

 

My Review:

Non-stop action. 

I could not put the book down.  I love the amateur detective sisters solving the crimes along with their friends and family who help them.  There is lots of witty banter and interesting situations that keep this story moving along at a fast pace.  Just when I thought I solved the crime, I discovered I was wrong.  I was so surprised when the suspects and motive were revealed.  This book is a great addition to the Accidental Detective Series and I highly recommend it.
