About the book:

Officer Mike Denton can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right. Since the shooting that nearly killed him, Mike has attempted to piece his life back together. Just when he thought things were starting to look up, false allegations leveled by his partner, Cal Granberg, have led to his suspension, and Mike begins to suspect that Cal may have played a role in the deadly attack. He has only one clue: a conversation he was never meant to hear involving guns in New Zealand.

Suspicious that he may have stumbled on an illegal gun trafficking plot, Mike sees his suspension as an opportunity to conduct an independent investigation into the shady actions of his ex-partner. He prepares for a month-long vacation to New Zealand to find the proof that would clear his good name but what he couldn’t prepare for his lovely young New Zealander Skylie Yates, a woman with her own troubles. A dangerous enemy believes that Skylie is the key to finding a hidden fortune. The problem: Skylie claims to know nothing about the money. Now, Mike must set aside his own quest for evidence in order to discover who’s behind the threats to the woman he’s coming to care for. But when his two investigations collide and Skylie’s life hangs in the balance, Mike finds himself in a race against time to unearth a corruption far deeper than he could have imagined.

My Thoughts:

I have always loved Clair Poulson’s books. They are the best mix of clean reading, AMAZING suspense and mystery, and not too preachy or churchy (which is fine if its a spiritual book, but I don’t find the need to have it thrown in randomly to a suspense novel or other fiction). Murder At Tophouse was just as I had hoped. Its the perfect mix of mystery and leave you guessing with a healthy dose of logic and true life. Its a great read for anyone who likes a good suspenseful read.
