A Trail of Lies By Kylie Logan

 

A Trail of Lies is the third in the Jazz Ramsey mystery series from national bestselling author Kylie Logan.

Jazz Ramsey is just getting used to the idea that her on-again-off-again beau, Nick, might actually be a permanent fixture, when she gets an alarming call in the middle of the night from his mother, Kim: there’s a dead man in her backyard. Kim has a long history of drinking and a vivid imagination, so when Jazz’s human remains detection dog, Wally, finds no evidence of a body, Jazz thinks she can breathe easy.

But when the body of a middle-aged man, Dan Mansfield, is discovered in a nearby park, and a photo of Nick and his mom is found in his pocket, Jazz has to admit that something isn’t adding up. Kim claims not to know who Dan is, but the cops find out soon enough: he’s a recently paroled convict who served thirty years for murder. And when Jazz traces his crime back to a bar fight with an antiques dealer, she ends up with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile, no one wants her poking around―not Nick’s mom, nor the Motorcycle-riding ex-con she connects to Dan, nor Nick himself, who seems worried about Jazz’s safety, but also about what she might find. But Jazz has never been one to take no for an answer, and she won’t give up now―even if it means risking her own life.

 I learned to love a good who-dunnit early thanks to my dad, a Cleveland Police detective who enjoyed Sherlock Holmes stories and spent many of his days off searching for stolen cars.  Often on those trips, I was along for the ride and to this day, I have Dad to thank for my knowledge of some of the less-savory parts of the city.  Later, I read my way through every mystery at the library.  Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, and Elizabeth Peters are among my favorites.

            I have a degree in English, experience in journalism, and a love for old cemeteries, dusty archives, the paranormal, and digging into family roots.

            When I’m not in front of my computer, I enjoy life with my husband, David, and our dogs. Lucy is a shaggy beast of questionable heritage and Eliot the Airedale is the model for Wally in my Jazz Ramsey books.  I enjoy cross stitch, knitting, weaving, stomping through cemeteries, gardening, and sitting on the porch and watching the hummingbirds while I plan my next murder.                                                                                                                                                                                                           
 My Thoughts...                                                                                                
 I love a good mystery and this series has not disappointed me at all I love strong detectives and a strong woman so this is the  perfect mystery to sit down with. You will have it read in one sitting and be left wanting more from these characters. I gave A Trail of Lies 4 stars and recommend this whole series.
