Suspicious Minds
By Christy Barritt
Review by Roseanna White

 

Bills must be paid. That’s the only reason Gabby St. Claire takes the mold remediation job, when her specialty is crime-scene cleaning. And it is g-r-o-s-s. But in the interest of paying her rent, she shimmies into the nasty crawlspace under the decades-empty house. And comes face to blue-suede-shoes with the King. Who is, without a doubt, dead. Now, how can her police-detective boyfriend possibly expect her to keep away from a case like this?

Diving headlong into the case of the murdered Elvis-impersonator, Gabby tried her best to balance her nosiness with school, her oh-so-hunky boyfriend who doesn’t quite get her, the neighbor she is not still interested in—after all, she’s already been burned by him once—and the suspiciously easy-going competition that tries to move in on her business. She can handle it all. Right? And one of these days she’ll even go to church, like she promised God she would after He got her out of that last scrape. Really. She will.

Suspicious Minds is a hilarious, witty, and thought-provoking mystery that will have you turning those pages as fast as you can. Barritt has a way of taking a situation that looks ridiculous from the outside and turn it into an intriguing, complex case that had me scratching my head, laughing at our t-shirt-collecting heroine, and longing along with her for the answers to all her questions. The character development in this sequel to Hazardous Duty was phenomenal—not only did we learn more about Gabby, but her friends leapt from the pages and into stark reality right along with her.

Dodging bullets and broken hearts left and right, Gabby will lead you through this mystery with laughter and have you suspecting danger around every corner right along with her. Not to be missed! Can’t wait to see what trouble Gabby gets into next.
