Synopsis:
Her allure is undeniable.
But is it also toxic?
Ozzie is determined to make this PI gig work, but only on his terms. And then Rosie shows up. She's desperate to get dirt on her powerful, womanizing husband and then move on.
Ozzie knows he has a soft spot for those who've been taken advantage of. The fact she has this raw sex appeal doesn't faze him. Or does it?
Can Ozzie resist the temptation long enough to give this woman her life back?
A case of spousal cheating turns deadly. Who is the culprit? More importantly, who was the intended victim?
Even with Ozzie's heart still drawn to Nicole, he knows he can't turn his back on the woman who needs him most. He just needs a little time to pull the pieces together.
And then all hell breaks loose.
Another murder…this one more personal than the first. Ozzie can't make sense of any of it. The lies, the cheating all blur together. He's stuck in the middle of this twisted storm, unable to find the truth, losing trust in his ability to deny his desires.
Can a life of abuse justify a seduction of greed? And can Ozzie somehow uncover the root of the conspiracy before more lives are lost?
Who will be the last woman standing?
Review:
A suspenseful mystery of crime and passion!
ON The Rocks is another suspenseful thriller from John W Mefford. This well-written story is easy to read and follow with an intriguing and distinct plot. Once I started reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down. I think this was one of the better ones that I have read of the Ozzie Novak series. The connection with Ozzie and his daughter is presented throughout the whole book while he is still not sure what to do about his wife, Nicole. While trying to keep his personal life in order, he is thrown into a case of a battered woman who needs protection from her husband along with a shoulder to lean on.
This series is a spinoff from other books from this author with characters mentioned in his other books. In true John W Mefford fashion, there is a lot of action and suspense that keeps you second-guessing yourself. The characters are well developed and engaging. John does a great job of intertwining the different characters from previous books in the series throughout.
I have read several books by John W Mefford. I am never disappointed in his writing and know that when I pick up one of his books I will be thoroughly entertained. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out so that I can continue the mysterious adventures. I recommend ON The Rocks to anyone that enjoys reading suspense/thriller mixed with crime.
