7.15.2025 - Death of an Ex

Death of an Ex by Delia C. Pitts 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the second book in the Vandy Myrick Mystery series by Delia Pitts, with the audiobook narrated by Bahni Turpin.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!

Vandy is a private investigator in Queenstown, NJ.  She's still coping with the grief of losing her only daughter when her ex-husband, Phil, comes back into her life.  But just as quick as he enters, he is murdered and Vandy decides to investigate.

I enjoyed the first book in this series, Trouble in Queenstown, but the author gives plenty of background so that this one works perfectly well on its own.  I like Vandy's grit and determination to uncover the truth, even when it hits close to home.  Pitts creates multi-faceted characters and there are plenty of suspects to consider for Phil's murder, as well as other plot lines.  I enjoyed the audiobook production and ended up mostly listening to it.  Will be looking forward to the next in this series!
