A. J. Orde writes a very good series. I was glad to fill in the last two books. I hope more are coming.

Jason Lynx and environs are always interesting. This is a triple-stranded book, braiding bits concerning Jason's love Grace's brother's death, a crickety little man being harrased over the family monstrosity of a house by his odious cousin, and Jason needing Grace to commit to marriage. Add an old friend's desire to set up a think-tank to benefit Colorado's ecology, the state long-stripped of minerals and trees by robber barons, the separate disappearance a generation ago of two friends, a client eagerly anticipating marriage to a man known to the police to be a woman-beater, Orde's fully sketched secondary characters, and you will gulp this story. As well, Jason has referred in previous books to be a Navy demolition expert, and this time we see him in action.

Treat yourself to this series! You're worth it! (Read in chronological order as characters are introduced, and develop throughout the books.)

Orde, Oliphant, Tepper-whatever name you know her by-she's an always entertaining and thought provoking author.
