A crime unearthed!

Hazard of the Pursuit (Spencer & Reid Mysteries #6) by Cara Devlin        

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A dead woman who is not dead raises the eyebrows of Leonora Spencer. Leo is having lunch with her uncle at the undertaker’s he now employed by when a basket recently brought in by two delivery men began to move. Leo opens the lid to be confronted by a woman who definitely is not dead. 

Leo sends a strange note to Scotland Yard where Detective Inspector Jasper Reid receives it. Jasper is currently courting Leo.

“A detective is needed at Tate’s Funeral Service on James Street. A woman’s corpse arrived. I suspect poison. P.S. She is not dead.”

A new mystery ensnares Leo and Jasper that will lead to them uncovering a pattern of disturbing occurrences.

On the personal level the pull between Leo and Jasper is undeniable but how will it be resolved? And that’s not even mentioning Jasper’s unwelcome ties to the East Rip.

Another succinct and lively read from Cara Devlin.
