I normally dislike books within a series that "travel" - take place outside the normal setting. This book was an exception. Really, the mystery was just excellent and the character development, the relationship between Benni and Gabe, is outstanding. I'm really looking forward to catching up with this series. Third in the Benni Harper Mystery series, this episode finds Benni and her new husband, Police Chief Gabe Ortiz, heading from their home in California to the small Kansas town near Wichita where Gabe grew up, so Benni can "meet the folks." Her nervousness is enhanced by the knowledge that her ditzy grandmother, Dove, her father and her useless Uncle Arnie are driving east to meet them there and "get a look at the new outlaws." But all thoughts of family problems take a sudden backseat when a young, upcoming country singer named Tyler Brown is murdered at a party thrown for Gabe and Benni by all of his old friends. Gabe is in the horrible position of knowing that one of his dearest friends is likely the murderer, and he insists that Benni NOT get involved with this investigation, even though her natural curiosity and skills have helped solve a couple of murders in the past. But, telling Benni not to get involved is like telling a storm cloud not to rain, and Benni soon realizes that her hasty marriage will be much like the Kansas summer weather -- unpredictable and bound to be stormy. I'm liking this series more and more. Even the relationship between Benni and Gabe seems to fit them more in this book. I'm glad to see the author not letting this couple "live happily ever after" without a great deal of effort. Oh, and the mystery was good, too.

Review: This is an interesting look at Amish practices as well as behind the scenes show business. An interesting read; I only figured out who the villain was very close to the end. ( )
