“Short Investigations” by Clair M. Poulson
I have read several books by this author, but I had a hard time getting into the storyline of this book. The book description sounded great but I had a hard time taking the main characters Max and Peaches seriously because I felt like their names were silly-like a joke. I also felt like the main character Peaches was pretty juvenile when dealing with their client Rhett who was being charged for murder.
This book wasn’t for me, although I’m sure it will appeal to some. Like I said, I have read several books by this author in the past and have absolutely loved them. Hopefully I will enjoy the next book better than I did this one.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
In the sleepy town of Heber, a strange 911 call is made to report an unthinkable crime: someone has murdered a woman . . . and her body has been found in Rhett Ketchum’s barn. Rhett, a well-known rodeo cowboy, is placed firmly at the top of the suspect list—the only problem is, he’s innocent. As officers search tirelessly for the evidence needed to lock him up, Rhett takes matters into his own hands.
Max and Patches Fisher are the father-daughter duo behind the unconventional PI firm Short Investigations, and they agree to undertake the task of proving Rhett’s innocence. Soon the list of suspects begins to grow, and Rhett feels a glimmer of hope—and an undeniable attraction to Patches. But when the officers on the case become targets themselves, it seems they may be the ones in need of protection. As events take a deadly turn, it’s up to Max and Patches to uncover the truth before time runs out.
