Del Honeycutt leads a boring life. He lives in rural New York in the same apartment for years. He has a job that's so boring that he can't even tell people what he does for a living. He hasn't had a girlfriend for a couple of years. But that's all going to change. He has decided to move into the world of online dating.
His first foray isn't that successful. The woman he meets seems overly interested in his family, grilling him about his parents and grandparents. She seems to lose all interest when Del doesn't know much about them and leaves shortly thereafter. He writes it off as just the weirdness one finds on the net but has to reevaluate when the woman turns up dead a few days later. Now the police are involved and they want to know what Del knows which is a big fat nothing.
Del is contacted by the woman's sister who turns out to be mystery writer Sabrina Spencer. Together they figure out that the murder traces back to a crime committed by Del's grandfather and his cohorts and tied to an art heist. But there are other people who have also figured that out and they will stop at nothing to find the answers. Can Del and Sabrina solve the crime before they are killed?
This is the first in what is currently a five novel series. The characters are very likeable and the reader will be pulling for Del and Sabrina. They fall in love and their love story is an intriguing secondary story to the crime investigation. I plan to read more in this series. This novel is recommended for mystery readers.
