Blaize back on track

After the fourth Dixie Hemmingway mystery faltered a bit in plot and mystery, this latest of the series is back on track as a great read. For the lovers of Siesta Key and Sarasota, there is just enough of the local flavor to keep up interest. The plot and action are up to the standards of the early novels in the series.

The Softer Side

Dixie Hemmingway continues on her pet-sitting rounds in Siesta Key. Although she has pretty much turned into a loner since her husband and little girl died, she is shown here with the many people who care about her. When a former classmate, Mo, asks for her help, Dixie hesitantly agrees. She has plenty of time afterward to regret her part in helping Mo, and afterward, Dixie struggles to make peace with her decision. Dixie's heart goes out to a young girl, Jaz. Getting involved in her life, Dixie worries as Jaz goes missing. Is she still alive or has she been taken by street thugs who have already proved they probably think nothing of taking lives? Dixie proves that she is still capable of loving other people and letting them into her life, and this is a very satisfying triumph the reader will savor.

DID YOU MISS ME??

I really like Blaize Clement's "Dixie Hemingway Mysteries". She has good main characters: Dixie, the pet sitter; Michael, Dixie's firefighter brother; Paco, Michael's soul mate and undercover cop. This time we get into Dixie's past and her feelings. Jaz is a waif that Dixie happens upon and Mo is an old high school "friend". Fun and adventure are had by all.
