New Jersey Noir - Cape May by William Baer

4.0

Jack Colt is a PI who has been tasked with investigating the murder of a fellow PI. He has to sort through a lot of stuff to get to the heart of the matter. Who killed his colleague, but also was he killed because of another crime? An older cold case is at the center of all of this and has to be worked into his plan. with the help of a few friends, he starts to dive into a chaotic mess that unravels fast. It puts not only others that are helping at risk, but himself as well.

This is a pretty moderately-paced suspenseful book that kept me engrossed, big time. The author wrote a well-thought-out story that sparks a lot of curiosity and interest. It's a story that has a lot of plausible scenarios. Really enjoyed this one, and I'm interested in finding out more when I go back for book 1.
