Many businesses in Spruce Ridge, Colorado hire temporary international workers during the hectic ski season. One temp, Jaana Ivanov from Estonia, is found dead in her car at the bottom of a cliff, but the car crash was not an accident. Jaana didn’t just take her eyes off the road. She was murdered.
Delaney Morran often feels vulnerable herself as the lone female tow truck driver in town, so when the victim’s sister asks Delaney to help find the killer, Delaney eyes everyone with suspicion. Delaney may not be the best at towing vehicles, but she’s pretty good at digging up clues.
Review
Delaney, a female tow truck driver with a passion for high heels, once again finds a corpse on what should have been a routine tow. Jaana is a beautiful young woman from Estonia, who came to Colorado on a temporary work visa. When the victim’s sister, Marja asks for help, Delaney agrees, if only to help Maarja with the English. At least that's her excuse.
Delaney focuses on the murder, if only to distract from the hi-jacking of her own tow truck. Her relationships are also a bit rocky, both with her boyfriend Tanner and Sheriff Ephraim. Axle, Kris, and Zach round out the characters. As the story evolves,
The pace is steady, with unexpected turns and a unique twist. Delaney may be in over her head, with other women lured to Colorado from Esotonia missing or dead. Delaney gets to the bottom of it all, with a few mishaps along the way. This is the third in the Tow Truck Murder Mysteries but was easily read as a standalone. If you enjoy light cozy mysteries, you’ll enjoy this one.
