Amelia Moore is back with her handsome partner Rick Bonito in the fourth book in the Amelia Moore Detective Series.
Amelia is quite curious when Pauline Jones hires her to find her boyfriend, Sam Whitaker. He left without telling anyone where he was going. His departure happens to coincide with the disappearance of a valuable doll from the museum he works for. Now, he’s being accused of theft, but Pauline swears he is innocent.
Amelia and Rick’s cases have led them to many exciting and exotic locations such as Ireland, Mexico and Bali. This time the search for Sam leads to Colorado. Once they find him, he denies having anything to do with the theft. Amelia agrees to help him and try to untangle this mess. When the FBI gets involved, the detectives wonder what they’ve gotten themselves into. Is Sam really as innocent as he claims?
As Amelia and Rick continue their search, they can’t help but grow closer all the time. Not to mention all the fun they have trying to fulfill the items on their bucket lists.
This is another wonderful addition to the series. There is no sex, violence or gore in these stories – just good clean fun. They aren’t intense, but they are clever and intriguing. These are quick reads that can be read in a couple of hours.
Although there are four books in the series, you really can read them as stand-alones. I feel they are more enjoyable from the beginning so you can watch Amelia and Rick’s relationship go from business colleagues to friends to a little bit more than that. Readers get to know them better and better with each book.
Linda Weaver Clarke never fails to entertain with her delightful mysteries. She takes us to wonderful places. Her descriptions always draw you into the action. I feel as if I just came back from vacation. I’m looking forward to the next episode of Amelia and Rick’s adventures. This should be a TV show.

ReplyDeleteBlodeuedd I had that same thought as I read the review. I should see if my library has any of these.
