So the library barcode obscures a good chunk of the synopsis, so I'm prevented from doing it the lazy way and have to type up something myself. Ah well.
Captain Ava Capp, commercial airline pilot, doesn't like going back to her hometown where her parents died and her best friend was murdered. However, twin brothet of aforementioned victim happens to be on Captain Capp's plane one day, as they are heading into aforementioned hometown, convinces Capp to attend 10 year anniversary memorial for victim.
Doctor Tom Baker (medical examiner, not two hearted alien) is fascinated by the cold case and, when he runs into Capp and really drunk twin brother after the memorial, the physical attractiveness of Capp.
Capp might still be in danger. Crimes are unsolved. You see where this is heading...
Davidson writes books that are very easy to read (I got to chapter 5 while my child was reading MAD Magazine. They don't let you check those out, but you can sit in the library and read them.) and have a lot of humor.
This is the third book in a series, but they seem to be related, not sequential. So, even though I haven't read the other two, it didn't seem to matter.
A funny book was desperately needed, as it’s seem to have taken about 2.5 weeks after the end of the school year to stop constantly clenching my jaw. I probably need a new job.
One thing that Davidson did was compile a list of 60 tropes that she engaged with during the construction of this novel.
Page 1 of the list:
For the most part, this novelists works are an anomaly in the range of books I typically enjoy; however, I continue to enjoy each one I've read.
And I only got home with this book less than 17 hours ago, so it was a fast read two.
Off to find books 1 & 2.
(But not really, right now, because my tbr pile is tall.)
