About this ebook
After six months of perfect weather, the people of Berkeley, California, have forgotten how to drive during a thunderstorm. Newly christened homicide detective Jill Smith is on her way home to a chocolate ice cream dinner when she gets caught in a traffic jam at the city’s only roundabout. At the front of the line, she sees the trouble: a flipped-over Cadillac and one dead driver. The man behind the wheel was one of the city’s leading citizens, a philanthropist in a town that puts charity first. He was coming down Berkeley’s steepest hill when his brakes failed, flipping his car and ending his charity work forever. Two things trouble Jill. First, the car’s brakes had been inspected that afternoon. Second, the driver was nearly blind, and unfit to ever take the wheel. Finding the killer will lead her from Berkeley’s upper echelon all the way into the depths of the community’s underbelly.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A lite, enjoyable mystery. The story is a bit choppy, but the mystery itself is pretty good.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Jill Smith, San Francisco Police Department, becomes involved in a murder when she ventures out to get one of her four basic food groups, chocolate chocolate shower ice cream. She stops to help another female officer handle what, at first glance is a tragic automobile accident. Upon closer investigation, it is no accident. Jill must follow a convoluted path to the truth.
