Death Takes a Ride by Lorena McCourtney

Death Takes a Ride (Cate Kinkaid Files, #3)

by Lorena McCourtney

Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Classic Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there--this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense. Owner Matt Halliday wants to hire her, but not for this case. Instead, Cate is charged with finding a man who owns a particular motorcycle Matt would like to buy. As her search progresses, she begins to suspect that the shooting in Matt's office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared.

Bestselling and award-winning author Lorena McCourtney takes readers on another wild ride of mystery in this clever cozy mystery, part of her popular series The Cate Kinkaid Files.

If you're familiar with my reviews, you know that I am most often swimming in the world of Christian Historical Fiction, it's my passion. However, I have to admit I’m loving these titles! Mystery was my original genre of choice and while I’m often more likely to be found reading a historical, a good contemporary might find it’s way on my shelves from time to time. Much like I enjoyed Peggy Darty in years past with her Christy Castleman series, I feel a very similar enjoyment to Lorena McCourtney’s Cate Kinkaid Files.

When I was younger I loved mysteries. I love to read them and watch them on various television shows or movies. My mother, my sisters, and I all watched Murder She Wrote together when I was really young and I can still remember the popcorn on the floor… or the different puppy chow chocolate and peanut better mix or cheese and sausage dips we made. Good memories. It’s the kind of mystery that I do not mind reading before I go to bed. Yes it does keep me interested and wondering, but it’s not the type of nightmares. I have really enjoyed Lorena’s writing and I do plan to look for the more after the Cate Kinkaid Files!

In this book things are finally looking up for Cate, even with a big mystery in her path! While things seem to round out, I hope that this will be more than just a trilogy. I could go with more and more tales from Cate's day to day business.
