Title: Jaidee - Out of the Ashes (A Lyons Investigation Mystery)
Author: Clint Morey
Publication: March 22, 2012
Summary: Josh Lyon is a private investigator, running his own firm with secretary Ruth and a tech guy, Caleb. During a routine job Josh rescues a young prostitute and when he finds out that her life is in danger, he takes her from the 'safe' house and hides her. This gets him, the members of his team as well as his best best friend, Lydia, who works for the police, into all sorts of trouble.
What I Think
Jaidee - Out of the Ashes is a fast-moving book with a well thought-out plot. Something happens in every chapter to keep driving the plot forward and the reader hooked. There are incidents that happen within the narrative that I didn't foresee and with other twists and turns, it's not at all predictable.
In detective novels it's very easy to see things as black and white and the characters within the stories too. Morey has chosen to use 'third person omniscient' (telling the story from different points of view) which allows areas of grey that strengthen both the narrative and the characters.
