The past and the present collide with stunning results in the tenth installment of the Reed Ferguson mystery series.When Brad Webb asks me to look into the decades-old murder of his grandfather, Dewey Webb, I don’t see much promise of solving the case. Dewey was a Denver-based private detective who died mysteriously in 1955, but the police never found the killer. The trail is completely cold … The trail is completely cold after seventy years—what hope do I have of finding the killer now?
Despite my doubts, I’m intrigued and launch my own investigation. I quickly find myself drawn into both the underworld and the elite society of 1950s Denver, where I soon realize Dewey discovered secrets someone still desperately wants to keep hidden decades later…even if it means resorting to murder.
Can I piece together clues spanning seventy years to find a killer, or will Dewey’s deadly past return to destroy me?

enjoyed the structure of the book… an interesting method
This is Book 10 in the Series and my first read. Renee Pawlish has a great talent and skill in enticing readers with her very likable and interesting characters with personal events of great interest and moment. I plan to look for more in the Series for future reading. I highly recommend.
Boring.
Ok, I didn’t like this book as well as I have others in the series (especially book #1) but it still passes muster as a good read kicked back on the deck on a warm spring day. Character development really relies more than it should on the reader having read at least the first book and perhaps a couple more, so it doesn’t stand alone as well as it ought to. However, having read every single volume I liked it a lot. It is hard to review the story line without giving away too much but I really do recommend it for people who like a good, relaxing read.
I’ve read almost all of the Reed Ferguson series and each one is better than the last. I appreciate that Reed is a very real character and that the situations he finds himself in are realistic. Great entertainment and a lot of trivia to learn about Boggie and the great detectives of the past.
Great and unpredictable twist in a “Who Done It” mystery/private eye page turner. The story never gets sluggish.
