Ring and Die (Jordan Lacey Mysteries)

By Stella Whitelaw

Book Overview

Jordan Lacy, Latching's zany private eye, is thrown in the deep end ? literally ? when fishing rods start disappearing from the pier. Next, stolen pedigree puppies start adding to her case load. But it all gets more serious when one of the anglers is found hanging in the bell tower of a church, his past life shrouded in mystery. Then a cache of diamonds go missing from a raided security box and a revengeful gang member is determined to find out where they are hidden. The personal stakes are upped as a series of planned road crashes shakes Jordan's sense of security. And when the love of her life, DI James, announces his transfer to Yorkshire, she knows she will have to claw her way back to sanity.

Fast paced reading

Jordan is a private eye in Latching on the coast of England. This sixth book in the Jordan Lacey series starts with Jordan being hired to find stolen Chihuahua puppies and stolen fishing rods. Things escalate rapidly to a dead fisherman, Jordan almost drowning under the pier, being involved in a car accident which is an insurance scam and being kidnapped and left locked in a basement that sometimes floods. In her spare time, she runs a little shop, First Class Junk. Like the other reviewers, I, too, am a little concerned with the ending, but will wait and see what the seventh book brings. You'll like Jordan and her friends. Recommended.

just finished reading this book...

I bought Stella Whitelaw's latest book together with Nora Roberts' latest bestseller and a new up and coming author, Lori Davis. I was least impressed with Roberts' attempt at literature, but was extremely pleased with the other two. Especially Whitelaw's book. I couldn't put it down. The ending is to die for (readers of this book will get the pun). I can't wait for the next installment!
