Trey Ziegler had it coming. In a way, it is a
surprise that somebody had not ended him long ago. But, finally somebody killed
him and did so in his own bed. Unfortunately for Sima and Trina (hairdresser
and more for the one and only Lieutenant Eve Dallas), they were the ones that
found the body, as they had gone to his place for some petty payback.
The knife slammed into his chest meant Trey
Ziegler was long past using women like nose tissue and throwing them away. He
had done that to Sima and Sima had planned to do some revenge stuff. Trina had
gone along to help out and keep her friend from getting too crazy. They had
just gone into Trey’s place and were poking around before they started doing
the planned petty payback, when they found the body. Trina had the good sense
to get Sima back out of the bedroom and call Dallas.
Good person or absolute scumbag, Lieutenant
Dallas, Peabody, and others do their job and always get some sort of justice.
After all, as the sign on their breakroom door states, “No matter your race,
creed, sexual orientation, or political affirmation, we protect and serve,
because you could get dead.“ (chapter 22)
Trey Zigler was an absolute scumbag. He used
women for sex and money, drugged them and had his way, and blackmailed others.
As Dallas sees it, he deserved time in a cage, not to be murdered. But, he was
murdered as somebody took it all very personally and tried to even the
score. Who did it and why are the
questions facing Lieutenant Dallas, Detective Peabody, Doctor Mira, and others
on the team. The clock is ticking. Not just because the killer needs to be
caught. Christmas 2060 is coming in days and before that, thanks to Roarke,
Dallas and Roarke are hosting a party for several hundred guests.
Festive in Death
is another fun and fast-moving police procedural where Roarke, Dallas, and
everybody doe what one expects – catch the killer. The only question is how.
Answering that question is once again a lot of fun.
