Trouble in a High Rise
Beau Smith’s latest identity is Skeeter Dursky, and he’s landed at a senior apartment building on Lake Michigan in Chicago. He’s been on the job for three days when someone from a previous location where the Witness Protection Program placed him walks in. Then someone dies, and the police lock down the building. Can Skeeter figure out what happened before his cover is completely blown again?

This book focuses more on the crime at hand than bringing Skeeter’s past too much into the story. However, it felt very light. The characters, even Skeeter, were thin, with the focus being on the plot. There is enough going on to keep us from seeing the solution until Skeeter brings it to light. I do enjoy the humor, including the gentle digs at cozies. The books are short enough that I still find myself enjoying them, but the tradeoff is that there isn’t time to develop anything fully. If you are interested and can find these on sale, then snap them up.
