About this ebook
A West Virginia cop investigates the murder of a philanthropic philanderer in this mystery by the author of Cromwell’s Folly.
A detective with West Virginia’s Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Sam Lagarde appreciates a good horseback ride now and then to clear his thoughts. He keeps two horses of his own and finds their companionship to be more reliable than any of his previous marriages. And now his knowledge of horses may come in handy on his current case . . .
Wealthy Grant Wodehouse is found pinned to his stable with a pitchfork through his chest. Lagarde’s certain it was a crime of passion. The trouble is Wodehouse had plenty of enemies: women he’d slept with, their husbands, people he’d swindled in business dealings, and even his own children.
To discover who murdered Wodehouse, Lagarde must first narrow his list of suspects. Unfortunately, the killer is all too willing to help.

Reviews for No Good Deed Left Undone

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked this book. The author did give me some twists that I did not see coming. Yet, due to the fact that I have not read any of the prior novels in this series, I experienced that lack of character development with the rest of the characters; other then Lt. Sam Lagarde. If, I had that stronger character based relationship I would have been a little more engaged in the story. However, I can't fully say that this may have changed my opinion of most of the characters. They did not really seem like people that I would be good friends with. Although, this was a nice read. If you ask me, there was no love lost when Grant was found murdered. From what I learned about him and his many relationships with women and his family, I was not a fan of his (past or former present). Again, there was enough good elements of this book that I did enjoy that I would check out another book in this series.
