It's no vacation that brings Greg McKenzie and his wife, Jill, to the glistening white sand beaches at Perdido Key, FL. Architect Tim Gannon, son of the McKenzies' closest friends, is fouind dead of a gunshot wound. Self-inflicted, says the deputy who investigated, a clear case of remorse over a design flaw in a beachfront condo that caused a balcony collapse, killing two people. It looks otherwise to Greg and Jill, who find plans missing, an obstinate contractor, a too-slick developer, and an inspector angry over a disrupted love affair. After two hoods work him over, Greg realizes Jill is in danger, too, and if this is a murder case, he had better solve it without delay.

I enjoyed this book for several reasons, not the least because the murders occur off the page. No blood spatters or brain bits, thank you very much. Chester Campbell simply tells a good story, with enough background to bring readers up-to-date after the first book starring Nashville PI Greg McKenzie.

Greg McKenzie is my kind of PI - older and wiser but still in the game, and still in love with his wife and partner, the unflappable Jill. He tells us: "She had on a knee-length, flowery gown that did little to hide a body that bulged seductively in all the right places. And though I'm a tad beyond sixty-five, my sap still rises as faithfully as that of a stately maple."

I loved the anecdote about Greg's Scottish ancestors:
(Quote)
When the 98th Argyllshire Highlanders were first mustered in 1794 at Stirling Castle north of Glasgow, there were sixteen McKenzies on the roster, one of them an ancestor of mine. After the unit was re-designated the 91st, other McKenzies followed him on down to 1881 when the 91st was merged with the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders to form the regiment my grandfather fought with in the Boer War and World War I. My dad, Rob McKenzie, was a a little less combative, serving as a U.S. Army cook in World War II.
(End Quote)
Greg inherited the combative gene. He's a prickly P.I., said by his wife Jill to have the world's hardest head.

The story: Tim Gannon, a gifted young architect, has designed The Sand Castle, a high rise condo on Perdido Key, Florida. Opening line: "With the darkness and the music, all the laughter and chatter, no one noticed the crack in the concrete."

The project has been completed and during a celebration party the penthouse balcony collapses. Two people die. Shortly thereafter, Tim is found on the beach in National Seashore Park, dead from a gunshot. The sheriff calls Tim's death an obvious suicide. Case closed.

In Nashville, Tim Gannon's parents are close friends of Greg and Jill McKenzie. Tim's father doesn't believe Tim killed himself. He pleads with Greg: "Find out who killed my son." The McKenzies head for Perdido Key, where they have a vacation condo near The Sand Castle.

At Perdido Key, Greg and Jill are advised by the vice-president of Tim's company that the balcony was structurally sound if built according to Tim's plans. Investigation reveals there were two sets of plans - the original and an altered copy. The original set is missing, along with the computer backups.

In a clever maneuver at a hearing on the balcony collapse, Greg slips away with some damning evidence, but he still has "a puzzle with lots of pieces that didn't match," and there is still Tim's murder to solve. With Jill chatting up wives of men involved with Sand Castle's construction, the investigation stirs up some ugly secrets. After Greg is roughed up by two thugs he starts carrying his gun for protection. The ending is a shocker.

This story is a rock solid winner! As I said in my title, I will list a few reasons.
1. Greg McKenzie has class. He has respect for his wife. He has respect period.
2. This mystery used brain to solve it and brutality, other than the bad guy hitting on him a couple times, next to know brutality.
3. Greg and his wife make a good working team.
4. The book keeps your attention from start to finish.
5. Greg is an older guy than your normal investigator, and I find this refreshing.
6. He is happily married which eliminates the need for all the descriptive sex scenes. Thank God for large favors.

This story is well written and flows well. I found it interesting and it kept my attention. The story is easy to follow. I started it and did not stop reading it until I was done.

The characters are well defined and easy to relate to. As you read the story, the characters unfold more and more until you know them as if they lived next door. You can relate to all the characters even if you don't like the crooked parts of them. I especially like Greg and Jill. I find it so very refreshing to read about older people being the lead characters.

Do I recommend this book?

Absolutely! And I recommend it for all ages. (Now that is not often said!)

I'm stilling presently pushing myself to read this. Not sure why. It is so slow moving and sorta boring .... nothing really has caught my attention, however on saying that, "something" must have caught my attention because I'm still struggling through it. Maybe to find out who killed the guy or whatever. It's written almost as though it is based on a true story ... like someone is telling a story that happened to someone they know. I'm going to keep skimming it. It is a long book and I'm hoping at some point the story will grab my attention enough for me to say ... okay I was wrong... this was a really good book.... just with a slow start.

Retired Air Force investigator Greg McKenzie can't refuse when his best friend asks him to investigate the alleged suicide of his son, though he's uncertain how it might be handled if the result proves it to be true.

Police contend the son, a design engineer, took his own life out of remorse after a structural defect resulted in the deaths of guests at the opening of a luxury condominium in Florida.

Greg and his wife, Jill, are an engaging couple it would be a delight to know. Their honesty and dedication to clearing the reputation of their friend's son lands them in a heap of trouble--both with scoundrels and the police--as they go about asking questions and probing in touchy places.

They soon discover chicanery on the part of the developer and his minions, an inspector who's willing to look the other way and even the influence of Mafia goons. Convincing hard-headed local police, however, is another matter.

This is an entertaining second entry in the Greg McKenzie series, cleverly plotted with good characterization and dialogue. There's a nice twist at the end, too.
