About the Book:
Smugglers on the hunt, a police chief on the run, lost loot and a dead wedding planner have the Mackinac Island regulars riding in circles
After solving two murders, bike shop owner Evie Bloomfield thought life on Mackinac Island would settle into boredom until she finds out Nate Sutter, island police chief and once-upon-a-time under cover cop is on the run. Some badass guys from Nate’s Detroit days think he stole money from them in a champagne smuggling operation and now they’re headed to the island to get their loot. Evie is determined to help Nate because he’s a good cop, Nate is determined to keep interfering Evie and island locals out of harms way, and the crooks are determined to get their money.
To add to the island’s problems there’s a dead guy on the dock and the new wedding planner is more interested in playing bedroom bingo than ordering bridal bouquets.
With the help of Fiona, Evie’s BFF and local newspaper editor, Evie is determined to prove Nate innocent, figure out how champagne smuggling, bodies on the dock and a bad wedding planner are tied together and not wind up taking a long walk off a short pier herself.
Tandem Demise is book 3 in Duffy Brown's Cycle Path Mysteries. In this book, Nate Sutter's past come calling. Currently Mackinac Island's police chief, Nate was formerly an undercover cop in the Detroit area. It would appear that some thugs think Nate stole something from them and they are now on their way to the island to collect. Evie wants to help Nate, of course but he wants her out of harm's way. Adding to the discord, Evie finds a body by the dock and a wedding planner who's less than honorable.
I love the characters in this series. Evie is a very likable character. Even though she comes from a stuffy family of lawyers, Evie is pretty down-to-earth. She's friendly, helpful, and you can tell that she truly loves the people around her and the crazy lifestyle on the island. I adore Evie and Nate and love their chemistry. Fiona is a great side kick to Evie during all of the escapes. She's funny and manages to sidestep the law while she and Evie try to figure out what's going on.
From one of my favorite cozy mystery authors, Duffy Brown, comes another excellent cozy mystery set in my home state of Michigan. Geared for the Grave takes place on Mackinac Island. Make sure to Google Mackinac Island -you'll notice that many of the business names used in the book really do exist on the island.
I highly recommend this series.
