"Dead and Gone", by John W. Mefford


Dark Horizon

Alex& Ozzie book #1

A new series with familiar characters for us to enjoy and I certainty did. In this fresh suspense mystery Mr. Mefford has Alex, an FBI veteran, teamed with her brother, Ozzie, in a new venture, their own PI firm in Austin.

A wicked new drug is on the loose and overdoses are running rampant. Alex and Ozzie are asked by an affected family to go after the drug dealers who gave their kids the pills. They did not hesitate but doing so may put their lives on the line…..

As always Mr. Mefford gave us suspense and teased us all along while Alex and Ozzie are on the job. I was so captivated with the comings and goings that I simply stayed and follow the heroes till the very end. The case is not only what is captivating squeezing some personal drama in the characters' lives was the right formulae.

Alex has doubts about Brad’s (husband) fidelity and navigates her personal drama while trying not to put her mission in peril. She is very conflicted but Ozzie gives her the support needed. But the past has a way to crush you……and the story ends with Brad on the run…..why?. And the drug situation?.....well….

Maybe the next installment “Dead Silence” will give us more….what a teaser.

Nicely done

Thank you, Mr. Mefford you made my day.
