Who Is This Dead Woman?

Freddy Ferguson is a private detective on assignment but currently taking a walk in the woods with dog, a friendly yellow lab, when things go wrong. A storm is brewing quickly and dog has wandered away. Freddy is searching for dog rather than turning back to the house when dog suddenly appears with something white clutched in his mouth, a woman’s shoe. Dog convinces Freddy to follow him in what turns out to be a slip-sliding adventure during a gully-washer that leads to the discovery of a woman’s body. Who is she? Why is she lying dead in the forest with no apparent cause of death? These and many more questions will drive Freddy in his search for answers. The mystery is far more devious than just this woman's death.

I loved every thing about this book, the characters, the mystery, the clever way the plot unfolded to draw me in until the very end. Andrew Diamond is an excellent author with a great imagination and he makes his characters come alive on the pages of the book. (Except for the dead ones, of course.) This is a stand-alone story, but there is a previous book, Gate 76, starring Freddy Ferguson that you will enjoy, too.

This book is written well. The beginning was interesting but I did lose interest in the book. I eventually stopped reading it since it could not keep my interest .
