About the Book:

When Edel Johnson arrives at the scene of a crime Mike is taken aback, more so when he discovers she is now working with a victim support group. He has feelings for her, but he is the garda who investigated her husband's murder, and their relationship is complicated.

With crime in Dublin’s suburbs at an all-time high, and his superiors breathing down his neck, West doesn't need the distraction.  But someone wants Edel out of the way, and it's up to West to find out who…

No Obvious Cause is a murder and mystery with a touch of romance, set in the Dublin suburbs.

My Review:

I wanted to read this book because it's in Dublin. That just sounded good and I hadn't read this author before. I found that I liked the plot. The murder weapon is creative. Mike is a neat charactor and I liked Edel as well. This book has a child kidnapping, break-ins, other crimes, a slew of suspects, a bit of romance, lots of working to find who-done-it, and plenty of good dialog. The mystery is strong, I like the crime solving. The ending didn't let me down. I'm now looking foward to the next book in this series.
