Not Dead Enough by J.M. Redmann is the tenth book in the “Mickey Knight” private investigator series. Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, coming November 12, 2019
A woman wants to find her missing sister. That should be easy for an experienced PI like Micky Knight. Until the woman—or someone who looks like her—ends up in the morgue. Micky finds herself in a tangled mess, not knowing who the real victim is, or how her name keeps coming up in places it shouldn’t. Like newly minted Realtor Karen Holloway’s house sale papers, as the contact for another missing buyer, one who looks a lot like Micky’s client. The same woman? The sister?
Micky has to uncover what the game is and who’s playing. Because the stakes are murder.
This is a well-written, tightly woven drama that immediately grabbed my attention.
I was immersed in all aspects from a renegade family causing havoc in the lives of Mickey and Karen to the steps taken by Mickey to untangle this puzzling case. The author did a great job with staging a satisfying and intriguing mystery as I had to know who was doing what to whom and why and how were the others involved.
The author kept me on my toes, divulging just enough to keep me in the throes of the various situations arising. When I thought I knew where things were going, the author changed direction with a few exploits that enhanced my reading pleasure.
The story flowed nicely and as the pieces fell into play, the pacing kicked it up a notch as the story came into fruition. When all was said and done, this was an excellent read and I can’t wait to catch up with Mickey and her friends.
