Description from the publisher:

Conjoined at the hip?



Rika is excited to have snagged her first private investigation client, even if it’s just a suspected cheater case.  But when she and Nick get inside the supposedly empty house, they find two men in bed together, literally joined at the hip, one dead with a screwdriver sticking out of his eye.  Grigore Vatamanu has been murdered the night before their planned separation surgery, and his conjoined twin Teodor must be rushed to the hospital before he dies, too!



Nick and Rika learn the twins are the eldest brothers of the Vatamanu family, Cirque de Sorbet’s most popular act, and the cheater investigation turns into a murder case.  But with a circus full of angry performers, a desperate documentary crew, and the surviving twin’s sketchy fiancée, the case is chock-full of possible murderers with little evidence against any of them.



As they investigate, Nick is eager to get this relationship nailed down — preferably by nailing Rika.  He seizes an unexpected opportunity, but can he get past whatever’s been holding her back and make it stick?  And can he keep Rika and LeeAnne from getting themselves killed before Rika is his?

MY REVIEW

5 CROWNS

DEAD MEN DON'T FLIP is the third book in the Martin & Owen Mystery series.  Though each will stand on its own, these should be read in the order of release.



There is no shortage of suspects in this fast-paced romance mystery.  The clues are there, can you put them together as quickly as Rika and Nick?  The story was fun and quick-paced.  It grabbed me from page one and I could not put it down until I found out whodunit and why.



Speaking of Nick and Rika, their romance is heating up, but so slowly, quickly, slowly…. Ughhhhhh!  Yes, I was frustrated, but that is part of the happy fun part of a long series.  Let the angst continue as we all watch their relationship grow.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
