Review: Dead stop

by Barbara Nickless

Intense and gruesome, almost to the point when I had to skip one of her murder scene descriptions so as not to trigger my overactive imagination. But other than a few TMI moments, I was glued to the pages and turning them rapidly.  Very, very rapidly.  The mystery was first rate, but the action was not for the faint of heart.

The detective, retired marine and current railroad cop, is investigating a murder of a woman on the train tracks and her investigation leads to a paper with a series of numbers written on it.  They look like a railroad crossing identifier...except the crossing doesn't exist in any database. What gives?

Great stuff.   Maybe a few too many bodies scattered along the way. But that seems to be what to expect from this series, so be prepared.
