review: Promissory Payback by Laurel Dewey

3 STARS
This is a short direct to the point case for
Detective Jane Perry, is called out on a murder case.
Caroyln Handle age 62 is found tied up and dead on her bed by lifetime friend Laura Abernathy. Turns out she was stealing money 50,000 for people to invest in condos in Mexico that did not exist.
Jane interviews Laura and learns about her robbing investers of their money and how their is 3 investers who lost money.
Jane interviews relative that was in LA at time of murder and who benefits from her death. Figures out who the three investers were. and solves the case.
You don't learn much about Jane except she is recovering acholic,smokes and swears. She did yoga but got kicked out for having her gun by excersie mat.
I think you might have learned more from a previous book. I wish she had more interactions than just the suspects so we could care about her.
I was given this ebook in exchange for honest review.
