I like that Mattie Winston is a regular woman, yet Det. Steve Hurley has his eye on her. Mattie eats too much ice cream, needs to get on that treadmill...someday, and with a bit of a dark cloud hanging over her head. If something embarrassing is going to happen, it's going to happen to Mattie. She is also very smart and as an RN she sees things differently then the police and is an asset to the Police Dept. This of course this makes pursuing a relationship with her police liaison, Hurley, impossible.

This is an interesting case that the police and ME are pursuing, but not overly thrilling. Added to that is an attempt for Mattie and Hurley to get to a forensic convention that is like something out of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

While the case might not have been a chase down the bad guy thriller, we wait while Mattie tries to decide between her love for her job and what might be the love of a lifetime with Hurley. Can she give up this new job she loves just to see if she and Hurley can light the spark between them or will fate continue to find a way to keep them apart?

I enjoy these Mattie Winston stories. I wish they came out more than once a year.
