Detective by Elicia Hyder - Prequal Soul Summoner – 4 star


Detective Nathan McNamara has a lot on his plate.  There are eleven women missing and six high-profile burglary cases and now he has a one night stand that won’t end.  When the burglary cases escalate to homicide Nathan must figure out who is behind this and put a stop to it.

The book starts with Nathan waking up from a one night stand with Shannon.  Shannon just kind of hangs onto him and it got to be very annoying.  Particularly when Nate’s mom got involved.  Shannon and Nate have hooked up a couple of times and his mom is planning their wedding already.  She tracks down Shannon’s information and starts communicating with her behind Nate’s back which is just gross.  It’s not like they have been dating several months and they haven’t found the time to meet.  Literally at the time they start communicating I think they’ve slept together twice and known each other a grand total of a week and a half.  The mom acts like they are moments away from getting married and Shannon isn’t any better.  If this were my kid I would be telling him to run from someone who is trying to force a deeper relationship like this. 

The two different mysteries were what sold this story.  Tracking down who his burglarizing all of the homes was interesting as well as Nate’s obsession with the serial killer.  I also loved Nate’s interaction with the other secondary characters, even the fighting with his lieutenant.

Overall I could have done without the romance and focused on the mystery.  The mystery was the best part.  The romance just kind of freaked me out.
