Synopsis

Running “errands” for her mob-boss employer, Joey “The Knife” Manetto, often ends with Shelby in trouble, making her cautious about continuing her association with him. Instead, she focuses on a new client who hires Shelby to find her missing mother. What seems like a routine case turns into something more sinister and deadly than she ever imagined.

In the meantime, Uncle Joey has summoned Shelby to his office, where she runs into her former nemesis. Shelby inadvertently hears something that makes her fear for the lives of Uncle Joey and his hit-man, Ramos. This time, Uncle Joey is not sure he wants to involve Shelby in something he knows could get her killed. Keeping Shelby’s involvement to a minimum has disastrous results, sending Shelby on a dangerous path. As her investigation unfolds, Shelby finds death at every turn, and soon realizes she is in over her head. Can she escape from danger in time? Or will she find herself deep in death?

Review

This is another great book in this series! There were several surprises in this book, none that I saw coming….well maybe one of them once I knew who they were looking for and I even tried to throw another character “under the bus” but he was a good guy. But it seemed very plausible that he could have been in on the danger with the “bad guy”.

I like how Chris (Shelby’s husband) seems to be somewhat ok with her working for the mob and getting herself into all sorts of trouble.  Well maybe not really that ok with it, but at least he doesn’t try to be all macho and tell her she can’t do it.  I do wonder about Shelby’s attraction to Ramos and if that will cause any problems in her marriage.  She loves Chris and won’t act on anything, but I can understand enjoying the eye candy no matter how much you love your spouse!

I started this series about 4 books in and have book 1 that explains how Shelby came to read minds, just haven’t read it yet. But each book does a pretty good job of explaining it and making you feel like you know all the characters and aren’t missing anything.

We give this 4 paws up!
