Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
I had not read any of this author's previous books, but I now count myself as a fan! This was a fast-moving, intriguing mystery with a nice twist.
Taking place in Southern California in the midst of dry season with wildfires looming, a dried-up pond gives up a dead body - that of a wealthy businessman who had disappeared weeks ago. The detective investigating soon finds himself with a long list of people who didn't like the deceased.
The detective, Ron Starke, is a great character. On his own since his wife died, he lives a lonely existence while also caring for his father with dementia. When a new police chief comes into town and gets the job he thought he deserved, more tension is added to the story.
A great read!
