Coyote Hills - Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman


Coyote Hills - Jonathan Kellerman and Jess Kellerman

She read

 Clay Edison is a former sheriff’s deputy/coroner turned private detective. A colleague of his, Regina Klein, enlists his assistance in solving the mystery of a dead body washed up in San Francisco Bay. Although the victim was laced with drugs and had a head injury, the police have deemed it an accident, something his wealthy parents refuse to believe. They hire Clay to investigate. 

This is the sixth in the father-and-son author team’s Clay Edison series.  I have read all of them and think this is the strongest. It can be read as a standalone.

A well-crafted, steady investigative procedural, this features the authors’ signature vivid and detailed descriptions, creating a strong sense of place. It is a fast-paced, compelling read with a likable protagonist. 

Fellow PI Regina Klein was introduced in the last installment, and I love this character.  She’s a delightful mix of humor, ability, and a great addition to the series  I also like the incorporation of technology and AI into the investigation, adding a modern twist to a classic detective story.

As with all of the Kellermans’ books, this read leaves me eagerly anticipating the next in the series. 

Thanks to @NetGalley and #BallantineBooks @RandomHouse for the DRC.
