Marsha Rieker is dead; not only that, she was executed. Her brother Kyle intends to find out why. That is the basic premise of this book.

Kyle was part of a Special Forces team and therefore away a lot of the time, so he didn't know everything that was going on in his sister's life. They shared an apartment, but Kyle was hardly ever there. Now it was his alone, and he knew among Marsha's things he could find an answer to who wanted her dead.

Kyle decided he needed to meet all of his sister's recently-acquired friends and find out what their relationships were. As he was going about his investigation, the cop in charge of his sister's case tells him that the matter is closed. They strike up a sort of friendship when Kyle proves there was more than one shooter. Then attempts start happening on Kyle's life, so he puts together a team of Special Forces friends to help him find out what happened to his sister.

One of his sister's acquaintances that Kyle met was Lynn Nefton. She did computer research for Marsha, and Kyle hired her to do the same for him. He also wanted her to search Marsha's computers for anything that would help them in learning why she had been murdered.

The plot of this book is very well thought out with many twists and turns. It keeps you guessing right until the end when the true villain is revealed. You just know through the whole book that Kyle and his friends are going to figure it all out in the end.

I would highly recommend "Slaughter on Maple Street" because I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It has action, murder, and even some romance.

Book received free of charge.
