San Joaquin Valley Girl's One Tough Cookie, Mar 24 2009
This review is from: Fools Rush in (Paperback)
If you've ever been to the San Joaquin Valley, why did you ever leave? Hot
summers and a fruit basket from one glorious end to the other.
This paradise is the home of substation officer Christy Bristol. A snitch
disappears, and coerced by her former boyfriend, an undercover detective,
she joins in a plot to trap the head of a narcotics ring. Her job? Engineer
a horoscope to flush him from his lair. Yes, Christy's an astologist on the
side...but not on the sidelines.
Her family, complete with a sentient nun sister and a grandmother with the
gift which skips a generation, provides a solid and compelling background
for the intrepid girl.
Anyone interested in learning to walk the fine line between riveting
suspense and landing a character in the hospital every other chapter can
enjoy a text book case in this mystery. Christy is kidnapped by a very ugly
gang of convincing villains. They're flesh-and-blood real and about as scary
as they come.
Anything but a first novel, this professional effort deserves a second look.
More adventures, please, Sunny, for this new best friend.
