READ THIS AUTHOR

After years of illegally working without a license, Tres Navarre has been serving as an apprentice private investigator to Erainya Manos in an effort to become legitimate. His current assignment is to conduct a surveillance of fiddler Julie Kearnes, who allegedly swiped a demo tape of a rising musical newcomer, Miranda Daniels. However, as he becomes distracted, his mark is killed by a sniper.

Though Eranya, the police, and his older brother tell him to drop the case, Tres cannot let go of it. He soon finds himself embroiled between two rival agents who want Miranda working for them. One of them, Les Saint-Pierre, has vanished and no one except his assistant Milo Chavez seems concerned. The other manager, Tilden Sheckly, has a reputation for eliminating anyone who gets in his way. As Tres continues to investigate the musical dealmaking engulfing Miranda, he realizes that he has placed himself into a dangerous situation in which one misstep could lead to his death.

THE WIDOWER'S TWO-STEP is a wonderful who-done-it, starring an interesting and fun to read about lead character. The support cast adds depth, humor, and reality to a story line that does not miss a beat and Texas has never looked any better. Readers will enjoy this terrific tale and its predecessor, BIG RED TEQUILA. Rick Riordan has the talent o take him to the top on the express lane.

Have to love a PI with a PhD in English

Tres Navarre is a PI in training that I want to read more about. He has good support too in his friend, Ralph (maybe a Latino Hawk?). I even liked Tres' Mother, and his cat. What I didn't like was tres having to take a 4-year old on surveillance. This was a job for which Tres' boss was getting paid, even though the 4-year old is adorable, this was too cutesy. The worst thing in the book is probably a minor detail to most people but it really bugged me. The fact that Tres is constantly being threatened with various punishments for working without a license. Mostly in ths book he is working for his friend, Milo, a lawyer. Unless Texas is different from most states, One does not need a PI license to investigate for a lawyer.But it is not clear that Milo is licensed in Texas. Anyway this is a minor glitz, if any, since surely Tres will have his license in the next book.... If you like PI's this one is pretty good.
