About Deuce
One for sorrow, two for spice triggers a game of three blind mice.
While vacationing in New England, PI Jax Diamond and his courageous canine partner, Ace, bite off more than they can chew when two small town deaths reveal two big time killers, and the locals don’t take too kindly to strangers.
Laura Graystone, Broadway star, auto expert, and Jax’s heartthrob, is once again front and center digging for clues while trying to ditch an old boyfriend. That is, until her brother becomes Jax’s prime suspect. Then all hell breaks loose, and Ace is left in the lurch, tracking down leads with his new sidekick, Susie.
A crazy duet of crimes sends Jax, Laura and Ace into a tailspin in small-town USA during the Roaring Twenties. Where no one is above the law, everyone is a suspect, and time is running out before the clock strikes one.
This is a new series for me but I must say it is highly enjoyable. Jax is a P.I. that is trying to go on vacation but of course a murder had to happen dragging him into it. Set in the twenties we get a different era for the story to revolve around giving a fun take on the setting. Add in the adorable dog who helps investigate and you get a great cozy that will have you hooked on the story until the end where the slightly surprising reveal wraps things up quite nicely. A great choice for those looking for a pleasant afternoon read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
