Kurzbeschreibung
Police Chief Sheila Dawson believes the death of Pecan Spring's computer guru, Larry Kirk, to be a suicide, perhaps triggered by his painful divorce. Further investigation reveals that Kirk's death wasn't self-inflicted. And the truth is reinforced by her friend China Bayles' news-Larry recently asked her for legal advice in regards to a stalker.
As a police chief in a male-dominated force, Sheila meets many challenges, especially when her theories rock the boat in high profile cases like that of George Timms. He was caught breaking into Larry's computer shop to steal his own computer back because of dangerous personal information it contained. Now that Larry is dead, she's sure it's connected to the burglary. And she's also sure she'll get plenty of resistance on her assessment...
Timms's time to turn himself in to the police comes and goes, and he's nowhere to be found. In her investigation, Sheila uncovers secrets, terrible secrets that would drive anyone to kill. So who then? It's up to Sheila to prove she's got what it takes to hunt down the predator that's loose on the streets of Pecan Springs...

Different Character Focus
6. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I'm a long-time fan of the China Bayles series by Albert and while she is still featured in this new series, the focus is on Sheila Dawson as she navigates her role as the new police chief amidst a murder investigation. She is a strong character, so it works to have the series shift to her while maintaining China's presence.
Even though I guessed who the killer was before it was revealed, the story kept me interested as the details of motive and possible accomplices were worked out in the end. It was easy to read in a weekend while still having the kind of substantial storyline I've come to expect from the author. As always, the herbal facts sprinkled into the storyline were interesting.
I think a spin-off series highlighting other characters from the China Bayles mysteries will work and I look forward to reading the next one.
I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher but the opinion of it is my own and was not solicited, nor was a positive review required.

A Different Point of View is a Winner!
12. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This current novel in the wonderful series of Pecan Springs Mysteries is set from the viewpoint of Police Chief Sheila Dawson. To me, this was an excellent change in writing direction. China Bayles is still very prominent, as she would be, being Sheila's friend. Now, we can have a wider range of stories from the wonderful mind of Ms. Wittig Albert.
A Pecan Springs resident has committed suicide...or has he? Police Chief Dawson uses this case to get back in the field for a bit. What she begins to see, along with a new character, Jack Bartlett, of the PSPD, is a far more complex crime than the ladies of the Texas Star Quilting Club suspects!
I truly enjoyed this novel and am hooked on the change of viewpoints.
Now to wait for the next adventure.

A Nice New Direction
18. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Ah, the author took a different approach in this series by focusing more on Sheila with China taking the secondary role in this wonderful series. I like how the author kept the story moving between Sheila and China's lives, letting us see Sheila in her new role as she investigates this murder mystery. With a solid plot, with a look into the everyday occurrences, and with the gang all back, this was a nice new direction taken in this enjoyable and pleasant series.
