A death in a senior persons' retirement home is not, on
the
face of it, unusual. However when an apparently healthy
man
in his seventies dies, his friends and the police wonder
why. Another question - if Henry Robbins had no remaining
family, why would he take out a life assurance policy? In
CAVANAUGH STRONG, Detective Noelle O'Banyon and Detective
Duncan Cavanaugh see no evidence of foul play, but find
matters strange enough to be worth investigating.
A previous inmate of the home, Sally, who was in training
for a marathon, also died suddenly after taking out a life
policy. Noelle only hears about this when her grandmother
Lucy connects the two incidents and mentions the deaths of
her friends to the policewoman. While suspicious, this
still doesn't prove anything. Noelle and her partner are
not homicide detectives, but if there was a matter of
insurance fraud, that is something they could investigate.
Maybe it's time to get started.
Be on the lookout for dodgy dealings, car crashes and
persuasive powers in this adult romance as the detectives
pursue their enquiries. I've read a few books by Marie
Ferrarrella by now and enjoyed all of them, so given that
she has written over 200 books I have a lot more enjoyment
ahead of me.
CAVANAUGH STRONG takes an interesting topic -
adults who become more vulnerable because of their age -
and reminds readers to talk over such matters with senior
relatives or friends to ensure they are not being misled.
The romance stands on its own feet and comes to a pleasing
conclusion.
Why are too many healthy seniors dying in nursing homes?
Vice detective Noelle O'Banyon can't let the mystery go.
And though she has no business working a homicide case, the
love-shy single mom draws partner Duncan Cavanaugh into her
rogue investigation. He's a notorious player she thoroughly
disdains—and the feeling's mutual.
Duncan considers Noelle too straight-laced for his taste.
But as they uncover the shocking scandal behind the
mysterious deaths, the crime-fighting pair become
closer—and passionately in sync. Now, before a killer stops
their bliss, can he and Noelle prevent the next murder in
Aurora?
