Series: "Chase Dagger Mystery"
Genre: Mystery Paranormal
Sara is a shapeshifter, she can be an eagle or a wolf, but most often
she is an intelligent but naive young woman. Sheltered her whole life by
her Grandmother, there is a lot she has never done, never attended a
large social gathering, never dated, never kissed a boy. Charged by Sara’s
Grandmother before her death to protect and guide her granddaughter,
Chase Dagger finds himself in the strange position of trying to help
this child enter the 21th century. Hardly the job for a
private detective with a very dark past.
As an eagle, Sara witnesses a murder. When she and Dagger check it
out, they find no body, no bloody carpet, the only evidence is an
earring. Then things get strange, when at a party Sara sees a picture of
the woman she saw killed, only to learn that she was killed five years
before, falling overboard, her body never found.
Using Chase’s expertise and Sara’s abilities to follow people in
animal form, they investigate further, turning up a confusing set of
circumstances. Then Chase’s friend, the police officer, Padre, is
almost killed doing some investigating of his own and they know they are
on the right track, a track that leads to stolen gems, and a wealthy
family full of suspects.
This is a good mystery, a rather typical mystery, except that one of
the characters in a shapeshifter, and Chase has a very spoiled MacCaw
named Einstein who is smarter than everyone and manages to provide the
clue that breaks the case.
This series is one worth reading. Be sure to check out all the books
from Full Moon Publishing. They have a couple of very interesting
mystery series.
