Saving Dabba by Randy Rawls is the fourth book in the “Beth Bowman, P.I.” mystery series, published March 2018.

Beth Bowman is a PI in Coral Lakes, FL who works with a homeless group. When one of them turns up brutally beaten to death, Beth feels obligated to become involved. She learns there is a group in town to demonstrate, Friends Intent on The Environment (FITE) who could be involved. Another murder occurs and evidence points to Dabba, one of Beth’s friends. Beth sets her sights on FITE as their demonstrations become more violent. Cloie Morales, the leader of FITE is a formidable adversary, causing Beth to reach deep inside herself.

This is one of those little known series that I look forward to reading when a new book is published. In the latest adventure, someone is killing the homeless and when it hits a little bit closer to home, Beth plans to take action and it’s that endeavor that had me devouring this book as I had to know how this was going to end. With a strong message, the author did a great job in presenting this intriguing tale that immediately grabbed my attention with great narrative and engaging dialogue that supported how well this story was told. The mystery was staged in such a way to keep me focus on the actions of the outlying characters who had pivotal roles that help Beth in her pursuit of justice for her friends. I did enjoy the sneaky method that Ike used to foil the criminal elements in their desire to cause more harm. This was a terrific book and I hope there are more stories with Beth and her friends.
