Constable’s Apprehension
By Laurie Moore

      After reading the second of Ms. Moore’s series, I will definitely be looking for the first of these humerous, suspense filled novels.

     Constable Jinx Porter has had a bad day—getting shot will do that for you, but his day and night get worse when someone tries to kill his hospital roommate, Sid, after returning from a mistaken trip to the morgue, informs Jinx that he and not Sid was the intended victim.

     Back at work in Fort Worth, Jinx soon discovers that someone really is out to ruin his career and to put him six feet under. When Raven, his ex-partner/lover, returns to serve as a reserve deputy, several incidents and accidents point to her as the likely suspect.

      Raven has problems of her own; a cousin who has run amuck and holds her hostage in her own home for several days is only one of her headaches. Several of the men from her past want her to make a commitment but she can’t. Her heart is still pining for Jinx, but after he points the proverbial finger in her direction for several bombings at his home and the office, she wonders what she ever saw in the man.

     Constable’s Apprehension abounds with male lingo and sexual witticisms, as well as humor and confused love, which make it a good read for women. Ms. Moore leaves nothing to chance. She clues you in on the smallest details of who-dun-it and why before she pens her last word.
