There's no slowing down. Number 5 and I enjoyed them all. I've read other books by this author and they are all well written. The "clean" caveat worried me but infact the suspense is great and only the lack of swearing and the occasional mention of prayer supports it. Very good!

4.0 out of 5 stars Murder Comes to the Retirement Center

5th in the series and still running strong! (no pun intended)

It has been a real pleasure watching Detective Jason Strong and his partner, Vanessa Layne, solve the murders in this series (although, to be fair, he DID have a different partner while Vanessa was on maternity leave). They have a great relationship which makes the series enjoyable reading.

However, I have to admit it's hard to read about murder in a retirement community. After all, that's where our parents and grandparents live(d), and we want to believe they are safe in their gated communities. Sure, we have to worry about them falling or having a heart attack if that is an issue for them, but murder? No way!

So when Ruth Rogers didn't show up for the weekly card game with her friends at the community center, they decided to play some gin while they waited for her. But when she still hadn't arrived an hour later, it was time for one of them to go check on her. Since Tabby had a spare key for everyone one in the group, Willie had no trouble getting into Ruth's apartment.

Poor Willie. It's hard to find a friend's body after they have been murdered. At least he knew not to touch anything and to use his cellphone to call the police.

Thus begins this installment of the series. Several murders will follow, several suspects will need to be identified, and alibis will need to be checked. Some people will cooperate with the police while some will be outright belligerent.

Strong is pushed to his limits at times just thinking about someone doing something so awful to these elderly people. Who would DO such a thing? It is really hard to keep his anger under control as well as he would like, but that is part of the reason we enjoy him so much: he is human.

Another story that will give you a great way to spend a quiet afternoon! How could you go wrong with Det. Strong? He and Vanessa are becoming a couple of good friends.

Good story, although I figured it out before the end. That's what happens with a thinner plot. Still, worthy of 5 Stars. Time for me to go see them get "One of Their Own"

I have read the first four books in this series of police procedurals. The fifth installment of the series, Tied to Murder adds to the series so far. Detective Jason Strong and his partner Vanessa Layne of the San Antonio Police Department investigating a series of murders that take place in a retirement community, each of the victims are tied like cattle in a rodeo. Along with their colleagues in the department's, Lieutenant Patton in homicide, Dr. Davis in the medical examiner's office, along with newly added Detective Nina Jefferson. These books read like a law and order style police procedural, but are full of character development and character driven. There are also Christian, wholesome reads. so if you prefer books that are void of profanity, sex, or graphic violence, ( there is some because it is a murder mystery), this book and the others in the series would be a good read to try out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good clean suspense

This is the second Det. Jason Strong book I have read in the last week or so, and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. In fact, I enjoyed them so much that I've purchased the rest of the series, and I don't often do that (I'm on a budget). These books are what they say, clean suspense. There's nothing in these books I wouldn't happily share, although I do hope I never experience the "murders" that he writes about. These books are well written, although the occasional spelling error has slipped through the editing process, and definitely keep me turning the pages. While not "Christian", they certainly don't contain material that I would consider offensive, which is a big plus for me. The characters are realistic, and the plots have enough twists and turns to keep you "turning" the pages to see what happens. Looking forward to reading the rest over my summer break.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short but pretty good read

I gave book a three star rating. It was a short read with a simple plot. The interplay between the characters were predictable and easy to follow. The main characters had a good relationship and worked well together. It was refreshing to read a book that was not all focused on sexual tension and crazed killers. The bad guy wanted money and used his power to get someone to do his dirty work.

I can only repeat what I've said about any other of this publishers books and these particular mysteries, and that is: I find the Dalglish series of mysteries to be really good. They are (for me) the type of book you don't want to put down. Also, they really are "clean suspense" mysteries, if that makes any difference to you. The story lines are good; I enjoy the character and following them up in the sequels, all of which i have read. Any mystery lover I feel will enjoy this series!

I like these books because they are like reading the Hardy Boys when I was a kid. There are bad people that need to be caught but a story line about good people making their way in life. Good stuff when there's so much that isn't.
