Summary

Everyone thinks Boz Gentry died in a fiery traffic accident, but Roy Ballard and Mia Madison aren't convinced. As legal videographers, it's their job to provide evidence of insurance fraud - and the more they dig into the Gentry case, the more they realize this might be the most elaborate scheme they've ever encountered. Of course, when millions of dollars are at stake, con men will take drastic steps to protect their scam - including arson, assault, or even murder. Can Roy and Mia unravel the conspiracy before the criminals get desperate enough to kill?

Edgar Award finalist Ben Rehder's novels have made best-of-the-year lists in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream.

There are too many crimes to count, never mind the criminals! Of course there are bystanders too.

This second installment of Roy Ballard mysteries lives up to it predecessor and stands on its own as a complete novel (if you missed the first book, no worries!)

Really enjoying this interesting take on investigation without being a cop or a PI!

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

Intricate mystery

Roy Ballard and Mia make a great team, they have great dialogue and chemistry which makes for an interesting relationship.
Good job with the Narrator, he portrays Roy Ballard exactly as I imagine him to be.
What I like about these stories are that the cases they take on end up going off in different tangents so there’s plenty to keep you invested in the story trying to work out how it all fits together, they may start as insurance fraud but Roy and Mia can’t hold back their investigative skills which leads to amusing interactions with the lead detective.

I did enjoy this 2nd outing for Mr Ballard and his investigative partner Mia. The wit and humour is was full flowing and the investigation had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing and getting it wrong.
The relationship between the 2 main characters zings with chemistry, and I am keen to find out how things progress in this respect in the following books.
The story starts as an insurance fraud investigation but it becomes more and I loved the interactions with the police, the neighbours, the suspects and even the odd pet.
This book would stand alone but I recommend reading the first in series first (Doh!) as this story does follow on from the first.

A good mystery, told with wit.
