Synopsis: After surviving a bullet, Angelina Bonaparte was certain she could handle any case that came her way. But when her next client walks through the door with an unexplainable seven-figure inheritance after the death of her parents, the private investigator wonders if she's in over her head. After all, when she visits her client's family attorney, Angelina discovers yet another bloody crime scene.
With the help of her new flame, Angelina follows the clues into an underworld of war-plundered artifacts, stolen treasures, and deadly consequences. As their last lead grows colder, the PI must catch the killer before an endless cycle of murderous greed gets her client killed.
Cash Kills is the second book in the suspenseful Angelina Bonaparte Mysteries series. If you like hard-as-painted-nails female detectives, historical mysteries, and twists and turns you won’t see coming, then you’ll love Nanci Rathbun’s loaded crime thriller.
Overall, I really like this mystery. I felt the characters were well developed, the mystery was really well done and while I guessed the ending I usually do in 99.9% of mysteries. I felt that the book was very well written overall and that the pacing and plot were well done and kept me intrigued throughout the entirety of the whole book.
However, I had some personal annoyances. I usually DNF books where the female character goes into depth describing her clothing and/or body, especially the intimate parts. I feel that has no place in books outside of romance or erotica novels and it personally irritates me when I read it. I feel that when a book is from a characters POV that the character shouldn’t be explaining how well they look in a mirror. It’s off-putting.
Verdict: Some off-putting elements didn’t deter me from reading this mystery book.
