I really liked this one. 5stars. Alex is called to a home visit to an almost 100 yo (out of the range of his typical clients. There he is grilled about psychopaths and asked to come back the next day. But, Talya is murdered overnight. It takes a quite a bit of sleuthing to figure out what happened! Mobsters, jewels and all kinds of “different” clues are dug up.

The mystery in this book was perfectly fine if a little unfocused, but the Alex Delaware books are never primarily about the mystery — they are always about Alex and Milo. Those two are in fine form here. John Rubinstein‘s narration is, as always, excellent. #audiowalk

One thing I like about the time change is it gets dark later, so I can walk later. I don‘t even have any suspects in Milo‘s case yet! I‘d probably be wrong anyway. #audiowalk

I truly wish the weather would be like this all the time — not too hot, nice breeze. More time with Alex and Milo on my #audiowalk

I started this on my #audiowalk today because I did some reading in the print version of The Woman in White. I love being back with Milo and Alex. John Rubinstein does such a great job narrating this series that I always listen to it. Leftover Mardi Gras decor in the park.

Why do I feel manipulated? This Alex Delaware mystery was a head scratcher. Seemingly unrelated murders. Frustrating amounts of time spent coming to the conclusion that they were murders. Alex Delaware predictably magics the solution. The ending was a bit of a let down and a puzzle and were we deliberately left thinking that there was more to this than what we are told? Or is that just a ploy? Despite that I enjoyed the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good intro to this series even though it is quite a few books in.
