Featured Book: Fade Route by David Chill

By Mystery Reads Leave a Comment

A local politician is murdered and there’s one obvious suspect.

But Burnside, the former football star turned private investigator, pushes forward into an investigation that reveals more and more possible culprits, all with their own motives. With little more to go on than his gut feeling, Burnside pokes at everything around him as he tries to untangle a web of deceit that threatens to take down an entire community.

Fade Route is set on the outskirts of Los Angeles, in a seaside town that is both serenely pretty and brutally stark. It is a community that is home to the very rich and the very poor, a place that contains more than its share of affluence and beauty, as well as sin and despair. The story combines all the elements of a classic mystery, and delivers biting humor and numerous plot twists. It is a page turner that will keep the reader guessing until the jaw dropping climax reveals an ending that is both shocking and satisfying.

About Not as it Seems:
Native American Deputy Tempe Crabtree and her pastor husband Hutch travel to Morro Bay for son Blair’s wedding, but when the maid-of-honor disappears, Tempe tries to find her. The search is complicated by ghosts and Indian spirits.

Review Snippets:

By Lorna Collins
…I adore it when Tempe’s Native American spirituality helps her solve crimes. I have read lots of the books in this series, and was looking forward to Blair’s wedding. When the maid of honor goes missing, Tempe’s commitment to justice can’t be suppressed. This book is set in and around Morro Bay, an area I know and love. Marilyn Meredith captures the places perfectly while still telling a compelling story. Keep ’em coming!

by Billie Johnson

…The author created Blair’s new in-laws with an unique background (Ethiopian) and tantalizes readers with ethnic foods and customs, which adds to the interest for the novel. She also ‘name drops’ many attractions and dining establishments in the San Luis Obispo area…

by Tony Piazza
. …It is not only Tempe’s gift as an investigator that eventually solves the case but her remarkable ability to communicate with the spiritual worlds, and in this case the coastal Indian tribes, who gives her valuable hints toward the solution of the intriguing puzzles. Speaking of puzzles, this one was a challenge to Tempe and the reader, but the solution is more than satisfying…
