About this listen

A relentless marshal. A rogue detective.

A bargain they may not live long enough to regret.

When Montana deputy marshal Brick Savage asks homicide detective Maureen Mortensen to help him find the person who destroyed her family, she quickly accepts his offer. But as the stakes rise and they get closer to the truth more horrible than they ever expected, can they find the murderer before they become targets?

Contains mature themes.

Daniels does a good job of laying the background and bringing a lot of different concepts and ideas into what is happening so that by the end there are many possibilities yet you know there's only got to be one thing really happening.

I always enjoy a Daniel's book

I wasn't expecting much, I mean the guys name is Brick Savage. Come on. But it was actually an interesting plot and decent characters. Not nearly as cheezy and awful as the name would suggest.

With a title of Double Action Deputy, MC named Brick Savage, and warning it “contains mature themes”
i expected raunchy romance, cowboy justice, or a shoot ‘em up scene with a double action shotgun. Instead, this was a decent, but routine, cop procedural with a cozy, fade to black, romance.
This was fit for daytime TV.

A few things that kept this in fair to middling territory:
- I had the mystery pegged from the start.
- The idea that people would believe you can get DNA from a cremated body was laughable.
- I found some of the plot forced, like the clunky attempt to build suspense by the repetition of Maureen thinking about what Natalie told her, yet not revealing what Natalie told her (we all knew it was going to be something to the effect of ‘it’s not what you think’ or ‘I didn’t do it’).
- The loose thread of whether Natalie had committed a string of murders nagged at me something fierce.

Not the protector romance I expected, but still …
