When the body of a missing cheerleader is found in a ditch, the local police turn the investigation over to the Pine County sheriff's department, fearing that the girl's relationship with the son of a local politician could compromise their objectivity.
Upon arriving at the scene, Sergeant CJ Jensen quickly finds herself embroiled in the politics of the girl's murder and kidnapping. Calling in Pam Ryan to assist with the investigation, the two veteran officers dig into the girl's obvious relationship with the politician's son. While the boyfriend's shaky alibi seems paper thin, their interviews with the victim's friends have them questioning other aspects of her life. A missing laptop computer piques their interest, making them think the murderer's motive may be buried in her on-line activities.
Customer reviews of Taxed to Death
There is drama, humor and compassion blended perfectly. - Linda J.
I don't know how you keep coming up with these great tales, they're intriguing, scary, funny and hold my attention... Can't wait for another story in Pine County. -Kathy W-B
Enjoyed the twists and turns of this mystery and I learned something new. The officers of pine County are interesting characters and they work together to solve three murders. Two young bodies and a tax collector have little in common. Finding the small thread takes time and energy. This is an enjoyable book and well-written. - Janet W.
Mr Hovey keeps the facts of an investigation very accurate and the characters highly enjoyable. My wife frequently asks what I'm chuckling about. - Greg P.
