"Gone Daddy Gone" by Cheryl Bradshaw

Sloane Monroe book #7

I have been reading this series out of sync and never felt lost not knowing what had happened previously, each story stands on its own and can be enjoy for its values.

This is a crime suspense story that opens with a bang, college student Shelby McCoy is shot and killed.” My dad will find you. You’ll pay”, were her final words.

Shelby is the daughter of Sloane’s’ boyfriend, Cade. He is in law enforcement and she is a P.I. they both have a slew of enemies that may want revenge. Who could have done this? Adding to the drama the family soon discovered that Shelby has a secret life.....

This is a pretty good story one can zipped through it in no time. The obstacles these two are facing looking for the responsible without falling victims themselves made one exciting read. We have more victims falling prey to the killer but why are they targeted and for what reasons are their relatives and friends on the killer hit list. The answer is only revealed through hints towards the end. I found it hard to guess the whodunit and was surprised when the answer came.

Although some may find how the story progresses to be somewhat absurd I think it is a fun read. The narrative is simple and dialogue clean. The story is not overly complicated rather smooth sailing from start to finish. The characters played out the role as expected and are loveable enough.

Next time I want to spend a leisurely time with a book I may choose one of Cheryl Bradshaw novels once more.
