Death Takes A Ride Book Review

 About the Book

It's official. This case is above her pay grade--and Cate's in over her head.
Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there--this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense.
Despite having been merely an unfortunate bystander, Cate finds herself sucked into the case. And the deeper she gets, the more she begins to suspect that the shooting in the H&B office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared.

My Review

This is the first book by Lorena McCourtney I have read. I think the books can be read separately but I did notice there was a little bit of Cate's personal story that I had missed because I hadn't read the first two books. That being said, it didn't take away from this story at all. I really love the writing in this book, it's serious things going on while humorous in so many ways. Cate is a fun character and I liked how she reacted to her every day life as a private investigator. This book kept me going, I wanted to know what happened. I had the murder solved right away, it wasn't quite as suspenseful as I had hoped, I kept wanting to tell Cate what actually happened. In any case this was a fun murder mystery that did keep me entertained. 

I'll be reading more by this author!
