Jesperson & Lane are private detectives very similar to Sherlock and Holmes. They travel to where Charles Manning was staying before he died to see what other causes of his death there may be. They encounter a couple of more mysteries while trying to solve the one that brought them there.
The pacing was nice and steady, and I enjoyed the characters of Jesperson & Lane as well. There was a twist at the end which I suspected but not the why.
I am going to go back and read the first book in this series. ...more
