Using blackmail techniques that would have made Machiavelli proud, Cezanne gets herself officially assigned to the Crane murder case. As she begins digging for information from several sources and questions witnesses, Cezanne begins to notice a wider pattern than just the Crane homicide. However, she misinterprets the data enough to place her life at risk from a killer who prefers that Roby take the injection.
THE LADY GODIVA MURDER is an exciting police procedural that sub-genre readers will enjoy because of the engaging investigation that includes plenty of office politics. The lead protagonist is a delightful star as she tries to prove her best friend and partner is innocent. The return of Jinx Porter (see CONSTABLE RUN) and his database adds a sense of homecoming to the plot. Anyone who reads this wonderful tale will believe that Laurie Moore is quite a talent.
