Blood Ties

My review -
This
is the second of the Jack Le Claire novels and I read it almost straight after
the first. In this book, a wealthy man is found dead in a swimming pool after a
party. He’s found by his cousin who works for Jack’s family. Blood ties are
explored here with estranged families, family businesses, and a bit of their recent
personal history all thrown into the mix. Add to that drugs, prostitution and blackmail
and you have a potent brew.
Once
again, Kelly Clayton has combined several plot strands with a selection of
truly believable characters. They are no two dimensional cut-outs, each having
enough background detail, light and shade, to make you feel you know them. The author
writes cleanly and elegantly and I look forward to more. I long to find out
more about Le Claire’s enigmatic side-kick, Emily Dewar. I hope there’s more
about her personal journey in Book Three, which I eagerly await!
