Overdue by Jo A. Hiestand

 The race is on to catch a killer—before he strikes again.  

 About The Book: For three months in a row a murder has struck the quiet Derbyshire county of England—and the constabulary is at a loss to solve the cases before the next occurs. Again, they call in ace cold case detective, former police investigator, Michael McLaren to assist in ferreting out the who’s, what’s and why’s of things. Using his unique skills for interviewing people, willing and sometimes not so, McLaren travels the countryside, learning more about the victims, the crimes—and himself.  

 Our Review: This charming and interesting tale showcases the author’s obvious devotion to the English countryside. The clear, fluid descriptions of the climate, people, food and architecture is a joy to read. For some readers it’s like going home again. An extra treat is Hiestand’s ability to create unique dialogue particular to the area as well as the individual character.  

 On a scale of 1-5, Overdue deserves a 5.
