No other details are given. Groggy with sleep, Polina is unsure of what to make of the mysterious message. She is certain that it was, in fact, her husband Kyler playing a prank on her,. Yet Kyler is nowhere to be found. And then the ransom call arrives…. But even when the ransom is paid, Kyler ends up dead. Now the question is…who did it? Lieutenant Jordyn Meredith of the Miami Police Department Homicide Division catches the case. And it’s a puzzling one, with misleading clues, kidnappers that always seem one step ahead of the police, and a rich uncle who, for some reason, seems to be in the middle of the whole thing—yet also seems to have absolutely nothing to do with. How will Jordyn figure this one out? Oh…and while she’s trying to figure the baffling case out, she also has to maintain her burgeoning relationship with her new girlfriend Mallory. She certainly doesn’t want to drop the ball on that because it turns out that Mallory is the most wonderful thing to happen to Jordyn in a long time, and Jordyn is really hoping they are at the start of something…big. “Nephew By Marriage” is another homage to the classic TV series “Columbo. ” In this one, Sabrina Kane not only reworks and updates the half-century old episode on which the story is based, but does it with typical Sabrina Kane style, humor, and steam, while also creating an ensemble cast of believable characters that will keep the reader engaged all the way to the final “A-ha! ” moment. All the while, you’ll marvel at Jordyn’s unique way of looking at a case, while keeping her main suspects off-balance. And you’ll also enjoy how Jordyn and Mallory’s relationship continues to develop along the way. Part lesbian romance, part cop story, “Nephew By Marriage” is the second entry in the Jordyn Meredith series, featuring your new favorite lesbian homicide detective. So…buy another bag of sugar-free Jolly Rancher candy, and tag along with Jordyn as she tackles her latest case. less
