About the book:
When Homicide Detective Cameron Gates befriends Dolly, the little old lady who lives across the street, she is warned not to get lured into helping the elderly woman by investigating the unsolved murder of one of her girls. "She's senile," Cameron is warned. "It's not a real murder."

Such is not the case. After Dolly is brutally murdered, Cameron discovers that the sweet blue-haired lady's "girl" was a call girl who had been killed in a mysterious double homicide.

Meanwhile, Prosecuting Attorney Joshua Thornton is looking for answers to the murder of a childhood friend, a sheriff deputy whose cruiser is found at the bottom of a lake. The deputy had disappeared almost 20 years ago while privately investigating the murder of a local prostitute.

It doesn't take long for the Lovers in Crime to put their cases together to reveal a long-kept secret that some believe is worth killing to keep undercover.

My thoughts:
This was a nice addition to this mystery series. The author does a good job of grabbing you on the first page and not letting go until the end. She likes to give you just enough clues that you think you solved the crime but then adds a twist. The story moves along at a good pace and the characters were well developed. I also like how she throws a little romance in with her mysteries. If you are looking for a good book to read on a relaxing weekend then I suggest picking up this book.
