A second review, also 4-stars, has been posted on the Amazon page for this fast paced and suspenseful whodunit novella. This story is my personal favorite among the novellas and novelettes I've written thus far and I recommend it highly to all of you who enjoyed the preceding novels, The Surreal Killer and The Ambivalent Corpse. I currently have parts of the next three books in this series under construction, so I can tell you that The Body in the Bed will be Roger and Suzanne's last visit to Montevideo for a while.
"The fifth book concerning married sleuth's Roger and Suzanne Bowman has
them returning to Montevideo, Uruguay to celebrate the promotion of
their good friend, Martin Gonzales to Chief of Detectives. When they
check into their motel room the tension amps up when they discover an
old acquaintance, Dr. Bernardo Colletti waiting for them - dead, with
his throat viciously cut. After the duo becomes suspicious of three
police captains being complicit in the murder, they team up with
Gonzales to investigate the three different, but all dirty cops. Things
go from bad to worse when they find out Colletti's assassin has an
Iranian connection, enlisting the help of old friend Eduardo Gomez, who
works with Mossad, to help put the pieces together.
As usual, Mr.
Last has combined international intrigue, a far reaching criminal
element, and the culinary wonders of Uruguay to create another volume of
the intrepid husband and wife detective team. It's a novella that moves
at a breakneck speed, serves up tasty dialogue, and a generous portion
of the Latin American culture."
If you're looking for the perfect gift for that friend
who likes to read mysteries you can't beat this novella, which you can
purchase for less than $2.00 per gift copy with a single click from
Amazon. Treat yourself to a copy, too.
