The
Good, The Bad and The Murderous: A Sid Chance Thriller
is the second book in the series that began with The Surest Poison. As
such, while this novel could be read as a stand-alone, there are the occasional
references to the earlier book in the series. It is recommended that you read
that book prior to this one.
Djuan Burden has been arrested for murder by the
Metro Nashville Police Department. It isn’t the first time this has happened
and once again his Granny does not think he did it. While Jasmine LeMieux has arranged for
defense counsel, she wants Sid’s professional assistance as a private
investigator. She also pledges to volunteer her help and is not about to take
no for an answer. While Sid doesn’t want
the case, he agrees to look into things a little bit and listen to what the
grandmother says.
It isn’t long before he is fully involved and not
just because he owes powerful business woman Jasmine LeMieux. She has problems
of her own and she better start taking them very seriously. As both situations escalate proving the truth
of the matters becomes harder and harder.
Readers familiar with author Chester Campbell’s work are sure to like this one. In both the Greg McKenzie Mysteries series and this series, the characters are real, the clues are few, and the suspects are many. Plenty of action and adventure abound with nothing reaching ridiculous levels that would throw readers out of the read. Book two of this series, The Good, The Bad and The Murderous: A Sid Chance Mystery is a tighter faster read than the first and a better book in my opinion.
