You gotta love Al De Duco, an ex Mob enforcer with a heart of gold. Don't believe me? Well just ask the dogs--and dogs are NRVER wrong!! His boss died and he decided to go straight-(unless someone was causing him to have to go get and or save them)-then he decided to marry the woman of his dreams and somewhat settled down. He was busy spending all the money he made as a mobster. Luckily his wife could control him with the spending.
Who better to take over Jake's PI business while he had to go away for awhile. Of course Al does not follow the rules--and he reverts to his background when he has to find out who murdered Maureen, a woman with many men friends--some of whom Al knew from days gone by. Hey--have you ever known the mob NOT to get to the bottom of whatever it is they are trying to find out--me either!
I am so glad Dianne Harman decided to devote an entire book to Al De Duco--he is one character you are not likely to forget. I truly hope she continues to put him into this series a lot!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Men, Mobsters, and Murder! Poor Maureen. Was she just collateral damage?
This is the seventh book in the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series by USA Today and Amazon Chart #1 Bestselling Author, Dianne Harman.
Men loved Maureen, but was that why she was killed?
She had an ex who wanted to reconcile, a chef she’d broken up with, and a salesman from Kansas who had fallen in love with her. Her brother-in-law had ties to the Mafia as well as some interesting business deals. Was she simply a pawn in their game? And what about Leslie, her ex-husband’s fiancée? She wasn’t too thrilled when Mac broke off the engagement to reconcile with Maureen. Plenty of suspects, but who’s the murderer?
Al De Duco, a retired mobster, has taken over Jake’s private investigation firm while Jake’s helping a friend. Mobsters have a different way of dealing with murderers. Sometimes they revert to old habits.
Join Al, his food critic bride, Cassie, and his Doberman pinscher, Red, as they hunt for the killer in this page-turning cozy mystery.
