Casey Carson
knew she was in trouble as soon as soon as Javier Ramirez opened the door in Obey
All Laws: A Probation Case Files Mystery by Cindy Goyette. When she went out to his home to let him know
that she was his new probation officer, she had no idea that he was at least
six foot four, bulked out thanks to his recent stay in an Arizona Department of
Corrections facility, or that was a member of one of the very dangerous Phoenix
area gangs. He is most displeased to see her.
Among his
issues, is that she is not her cousin Hope Carson. Hope passed the case off to
Casey and claimed something about she had a conflict of interest. She told
Casey next to nothing and now she has an enraged Javier Ramirez on her hands. It
isn’t long before he snaps and gets physical with her.
In the violent
aftermath, and she was very lucky to survive, Hope promises to meet her and
tell her some stuff. That never happens as soon she is missing. Casey, along
with the help of Phoenix Detective, Barry Betz (Casey’s ex), try to find her
and that increases the danger level for both of them.
At the same
time, Casey also has other clients that she needs to find and work with as they
navigate the system, questions about her mother’s recent suicide, and an
attractive neighbor just moved in, and lots of other things are happening in Obey All Laws: A Probation Case Files Mystery
by Cindy Goyette.
Billed as the
first book of a series by the publisher, Level Best Books, the read is a very
good one. A complex main character, as well as an extensive supporting cast
with their own backstories and complexities, plenty of action, and a twisting
and increasingly violent mystery make this one a fun read. If it had come out
last year, it would have made my best of the year list.
Obey All
Laws: A Probation Case Files Mystery by Cindy Goyette is a mighty good
read and well worth your time. It is currently scheduled to come out the 9th,
next Tuesday.
The Amazon Associate deal is a bit haywire, again, so go here to pick up your copy.
My ARC digital reading copy came by way of the publisher, Level Best Books, and NetGalley.
