After a six-year absence can she go back to the career
she loves?
About
the Book: Accidental Allies follows detective
Minka Avery as she returns to the Orlando P.D. after a six-year hiatus. The decision
to bring her back following such a lengthy absence wasn’t popular with some of
the top brass, but when the courthouse is bombed, the investigation puts the
entire department under the microscope. As the case takes several twists and
turns, Minka proves her time away from ‘detecting’ hasn’t diminished her skills
at all.
Our
Review: The depth of research performed
by author Bartow shows clear in this fast-paced police procedural based in sunny
Orlando. It is the loyalty which flavors the varied personal relationships that
bring a shine to this tale. While Minka owes her job to her immediate superior
Gus Channing, it is her loyalty to him that not only saves his job but also solves
the crimes underlying the mystery. Add to that mix a loving spouse and delightful
child, as well as her charming rogue of a brother which makes this story so
special.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Accidental
Allies merits a 6.
