No Place to Die by James L. ThaneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The book opens with a jolt--Beverly Thompson pulls into her garage, expecting to have a lovely dinner with her husband. But as the garage door begins to descend a man runs under it and she is trapped in her car. Immediately, she locks her doors and lays on the horn.The stranger forces her to stop the noise and pointing a gun at her forces her to open the car. Husband and dog immediately open the house door to investigate, the man shoots both. He then pulls her from the car, covers her face with a cloth soaked in probably chloroform and, as she fades from conciousness, greets her as an old friend.
Who are these people? What connects them and why did this guy kill her husband and dog and abduct Beverly Thompson? Within a few pages these questions continue to puzzle Beverly and the reader. As the story unfolds more people are murdered and Beverly finds herself trying to ingratiate her man who is obviously going to kill her as well. Her only hope she feels is to convince him that she is no threat and make him become careless enough to allow her escape.
Even as the initial questions are finally answered the game she plays and the attempts of police to solve the puzzle of seemingly unrelated murders keep the reader involved until the very last pages with an ending as explosive and the beginning. Headed to the next case involving Sean Richardson and his very competent partner, Maggie.
