Investigating a murder complicated by the killer's strategic approaches to confounding all possible DNA evidence, private detective Nils Shapiro is forced by FBI interference to secretly uncover the potentially shattering identity of a mysterious woman.
I finished up my 2018 reading with another thriller/mystery, this one by debut author Matt Goldman, and my second of the year set in the Minneapolis area. Nils Shapiro is a private investigator with friends on the police force who is occasionally called in to consult. And this one has everyone stumped -- a woman is found dead in her bed, but the entire room (and most of the house) is covered with dust. Why, and how?
I found Nils fun to read. He's still hung up on his ex-wife, and maybe a little quick to get involved with people tangled up in his case. The mystery was really good too -- I really didn't guess what had happened until it was nearly revealed to me, yet it made perfect since once I knew. I enjoy that. I'll definitely read more books in this series.
