Book Review: Streak of Lightning

Well Clare O'Donohue is at it again! Nell Fitzgerald is back with a short Someday Quilts Mystery to tide you over to the next book (The Double Wedding Ring in October). This is such a fast read in an e-book format and is so engaging that you will love it for a short trip or Labor Day weekend.

Back in Archer's Rest, Nell Fitzgerald and boyfriend, police chief Jesse DeWalt, are heading out of town for a romantic New Years Eve weekend in New York City. Hoping for a clean break from work, Jesse leaves his police partner Greg in charge of the precinct. The first order of business is dealing with Joe Proctor, an abrasive bully who everyone in town seems to hate. Joe's latest altercation -- this time with local florist Violet -- ends with a chair through her flower shop window and him in handcuffs. 

As Nell and Jesse arrive in Grand Central station, their getaway is suddenly curtailed by a call with disturbing news. Joe was found dead in his cell at the police station, leaving Greg as the only viable suspect. As the state police step in to investigate this possible homicide, Nell and Jesse work below the radar to learn more about Joe and ifnd the killer. Did a long standing grudge between Greg's father and Joe make this the perfect opportunity for payback? Why did Violet and Joe argue, and did she secretly get even for damage to her shop? Or, did someone else want to settle their own score with the unpopular Joe?

Of course there is plenty about quilts here too. And it's only $2.99!!!! Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

 
Love,
