    This is the 2nd and last book in Mark Arsenault's Eddie Bourque Series. I read the first book in the series called Spiked about 3 years ago. I enjoyed it so much that I contacted Mark Arsenault, a journalist from Rhode Island, and asked him when he was going to write more books. He said that he has a wife and 3 children and needs a steady job to support them and that he would write more books in the future. I've been holding off reading this last one as I have been cherishing it and have finally succumbed. I must say that I am not disappointed in Mark Arsenault's writing as I have found it to be a fast-paced, humor-filled page turner just like the first book. I love the main character, Eddie Bourque, who is a hard-nosed freelance reporter and a great mystery solver too. He's smart, intuitive, stubborn and never quits when he is on track chasing down the baddies. I found all the characters to be well-drawn and very unique. The plot was tense and the ending was very suspenseful. I am now looking forward to that time in the future when Mark will once again take up his writing skills and turn out more Eddie Bourque novels. I highly recommend his books to those who love mystery books that are witty and humor-filled.
