Enjoyed listening to

I had a hard time figuring out who all the characters were, but by the end it all came together. I recommend listening to this book.

Murder in Chicago

DeeDee and Jake have themselves involved in another murder investigation. This one is involving their friends Al and Cassie. It seems like Al’s not so innocent past is catching up to him. There are lots of shady and suspicious characters. But there’s lots of fun and humor throughout as well. And there’s always a dog or two in this book as well as the others. The author Dianne Harman always includes yummy recipes at the end of her books

enjoyable mystery

This is the tenth in the series but the first I have read/listened to. It is a standalone story.
The story begins with Al De Duco’s funeral service. He died in a boating accident. The mob wanted him out of the way. Who specifically was upset with Al’s new life?
There are a lot of twists, turns and, suspects.

What I didn’t like was that most of the women were portrayed as unable to do much other than follow their husbands wishes, shop, and hide out. Even the women connected to the mob seemed cowed. Cassie seemed a little naïve to believe Al’s previous life would never present itself into his current life.

I did like the reveal and it was surprising.

Recipes at the end of the book. I don’t understand why. The recipes have nothing to do with the story but they are nice addition.

Running from the mob!

Murder in Chicago is book 10 in the Northwest Cozy Mystery. Dianne Hartmann has written an exciting cozy. Tena Bunnell gives a excellent performance narrating this story. Al (Red) has been in the mob for 40 years. Al is now a marked man running from a hired killer. He is one step ahead of his killer. I was engaged in the book from the beginning. Dianne has written an exciting thriller. Very enjoyable! I received a code for my honest review.
