It's official. This case is above her pay grade – and Cate's
in over her head.
Cate Kinkaid arrives at H&B Vintage Auto Restorations to give a friend a ride. But, as usual, trouble finds Cate even there – this time in the form of one dead man, one wounded man, and what appears to be a pretty obvious case of self-defense.
Despite having been merely an unfortunate bystander, Cate finds herself sucked into the case. And the deeper she gets, the more she begins to suspect that the shooting in the H&B office may not have been as cut-and-dried as it appeared.
Bestselling and award-winning author Lorena McCourtney takes you on wild ride in this clever cozy mystery that will keep you guessing.

Lorena McCourtney’s Death Takes a Ride is certainly an exciting ride. No doubt about
that. From nearly the first page, private investigator Cate Kincaid (along with
the readers) finds herself thrown into an ostensibly simple, yet utterly confounding
murder mystery. As McCourtney revealed more and more clues, characters and
connections, I continually reevaluated my guessed solution – only to wait until
the very end to truly understand all the complexities. Quite the stumper.
I greatly appreciated that even with murder as
a major plot point of the novel, the prevalent feeling and tone is not overly dark
or sinister. While maintaining the mystery, McCourtney manages to keep her
writing light, sprinkling in humorous moments when necessary. It works
perfectly for a fun read on a lazy weekend.
Overall, this addition to the Cate Kincaid Files is tricky and delightful. I loved it – even without having
reading the two previous novels starring Cate Kincaid. While I am sure those
novels help in understanding the personalities and backstories of several
characters, as well as minor, passing comments, I never felt I read with a
disadvantage. It is able to be read on its own – though I am definitely
planning to read the other two when I have the chance.
Thanks to Revell Reads, I received a copy of Death Takes a
Ride and the opportunity to
provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and
all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
