Blurb:
A Trail of Lies is the third in the Jazz Ramsey mystery series from national
bestselling author Kylie Logan.
Jazz Ramsey is just getting used to the idea that her on-again-off-again beau,
Nick, might actually be a permanent fixture, when she gets an alarming call in
the middle of the night from his mother, Kim: there’s a dead man in her
backyard. Kim has a long history of drinking and a vivid imagination, so when
Jazz’s human remains detection dog, Wally, finds no evidence of a body, Jazz
thinks she can breathe easy.
But when the body of a middle-aged man, Dan Mansfield, is discovered in a
nearby park, and a photo of Nick and his mom is found in his pocket, Jazz has
to admit that something isn’t adding up. Kim claims not to know who Dan is, but
the cops find out soon enough: he’s a recently paroled convict who served
thirty years for murder. And when Jazz traces his crime back to a bar fight
with an antiques dealer, she ends up with more questions than answers.
Meanwhile, no one wants her poking around—not Nick’s mom, nor the
Motorcycle-riding ex-con she connects to Dan, nor Nick himself, who seems
worried about Jazz’s safety, but also about what she might find. But Jazz has
never been one to take no for an answer, and she won’t give up now—even if it
means risking her own life.
My review:
Jazz
is back and gets involved in a mystery that nobody wants her involved in. We
find out more about Nick and his mother and their past as the victim has a
picture of them in his pocket. Jazz has an insatiable curiosity and is as
stubborn as her Airedale, Wally. This is a terrific mystery with enough twists
to keep you guessing without overwhelming you.
