Perfectly Good Crime (A Kate Bradley Mystery, #2)

by Dete Meserve

In this feel-good follow-up to the novel and Netflix film Good Sam, intrepid reporter Kate Bradley is back in a story that BuzzFeed calls “mysterious, fascinating, and inspiring.”

When burglars target the palatial estates of American billionaires in a series of high-tech heists, Kate must venture inside the world of the superrich to investigate the biggest story of the year.

But the answers don’t come easy. The Los Angeles police detective who’s helping Kate with the case has mysteriously disappeared, Kate’s senator father demands she stop investigating, and the billionaire victims refuse to talk to the media. Still, Kate uncovers clues that prove the crimes are anything but ordinary: those behind the robberies have shocking—but uplifting—motives that just may bring about powerful change.

As the heists escalate, Kate faces a momentous decision that could jeopardize her deepening relationship with fire captain Eric Hayes. Saddled with obligations to the public, her career, and her own heart, Kate must trust her instincts in a high-stakes search that will test everything she believes and force her to decide where she belongs.

Perfectly Good Book. This was my second book of Ms. Meserve's after having read The Space Between last year, and while very different it showed that she is truly a very gifted writer. It is hard to say much about the content of this book without going into spoiler territory, so I will simply say that it was a very quick and very enjoyable read that raised a lot of questions and had what appears to be a decent amount of balance to the overall mystery here - if you subscribe to the dominant thinking. Overall a great new tale that uses a legendary tale in a modern setting to have a discussion about larger issues while telling an interesting story and continuing the world set forth in the previous book.
