P.I in Montana mystery--terrific!

If you're looking for detailed murder scenes, go for P.D James or Anne Perry. The nitty gritty aspects lasts from book to book. Looking for fun in your mysteries? Check out set characters in series by J.D Robb/Nora Roberts or Janet Evanovich. BUT, if you want a mystery that moves with unique memorable characters to each and every book, Sandra West Prowell delivers modern tales about a fun-but-firm Private Investigator, Phoebie Siegal. She works murder mystery on behalf of paying clients not the police. Occasionally, she greets local customs and lore arriving from Native American heritage. Unlike other series books, Phoebie's adventures leave you guessing to the end. Each tale smoothly reveals aspects of this intriguing main character. And, almost anyone could be the suspect, almost anyone could die, and almost anyone could hire Phoebie Siegal to find out why--or are they trying to set her up? In this story, Phoebe meets an emotional runaway claiming the unusual practices of a high-security drug rehab are the nature of her latest anxiety jaunt. After checking into her deceased brother's last case file, Phoebe discovers that the kid may not have been just expressing her illness. Great read, unpredictable but perfect ending!
