The best thing about this book is Luke Danner. He’s ex-Marine, politely refused employment in the family’s winery and instead runs a ‘lodge’ in Dunsley, California. He doesn’t really like the paying guests (some of the scenarios are hilarious), and has a list of rules as long as your arm. Basil Fawlty, move over!
His family’s annoyingly persistent shrink thinks he’s got PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), EDD (erectile dysfunction disorder), plus a few other disorders tossed in for good measure! His concerned father and stepmother’s attempts to get him into therapy are unsettling yet humorous, to say the least. Luke is actually working on a secret project that’ll eventually settle all questions about his future.
Anyway, reporter Irene Stenston returns to Dunsley – and Luke’s lodge – when childhood friend Pamela, a Senator’s daughter, sends her an urgent, cryptic email about the past. Irene’s parents supposedly died in a murder-suicide, but Pamela hints at knowing more about what Irene considers her parents’ unsolved murders.
Unfortunately Irene and Luke (who curiously and coolly invites himself along for the ride – typical JAK hero!) find Pamela dead of an apparent OD. Not believing Pamela would kill herself, any more than her police chief father would shoot her mother and then himself, Irene sets out on a dangerous trail of clues leading to a seething, nasty underbelly of crime! Luke refuses to leave Irene alone, and so lends her some very nice muscle and brains as the scenario spirals dangerously out of control. He also proves beyond any doubt he does not have EDD, to Irene’s bone-melting satisfaction. JAK is the mistress of dead bodies, dark mystery and deep romance. You’ll cheer for Irene as she champions Luke to his family – and do watch for the scene where she disclaims the EDD in public, to Luke’s horror! Very funny. You’ll hold your breath as they tackle what must surely be one of the most twisted villains ever. And, what’s even better, Luke has two very interesting brothers… Sequels, we dare hope?
