About this ebook

Three families. Two murders. One blind PI. Has he finally met his match?

Blind PI Steve Smiley’s former homicide partner is in trouble. If Leo can’t solve an eighty-year-old cold case murder, he’ll be put out to pasture before his time. 

When Smiley offers to help out his old partner, what he finds is a generations-long feud between three families. With no love lost between any of them, Smiley’s field of suspects grows and Leo’s future looks bleak.

 

Before Smiley can help his friend solve the cold case, the feuding families are rocked by another murder. Is history repeating itself? Are the two killings connected? With a real live killer on the loose, can Smiley connect the dots and solve the cases, or will another murder be relegated to the cold case files?

Ratings and reviews

The Smiley and McBlythe Mystery Series: Murder Down The Line, #6 - This is an enjoyable, entertaining series. I like the main characters, the well thought out story lines, and the processes to solve the crimes. Two crimes and a surprise made for a hard to put down read but the pages flew by rapidly. Source: BookSirens. 5* Exercise Is Murder, prequel - An interesting and immersing introduction to Steve Smiley and Heather McBlythe and their beginnings. Recommend reading this first. 4* Jingle Bells, Rifle Shells, 1 - Interesting and immersing easy read with a steady pace, good story lines, good characters and good values made this a hard to put down read. Recommend reading the prequel, Exercise is Murder first. 5* Murder In The Dunes, #4 - Difficult to put down with its steady pace, easy to read writing style and good characters and story lines. 5* A Beach to Die For, #8 - While still an interesting story, it was missing something. I had a hard time, here and there, keeping my interes

Excellent read & writing as always!!!
