disneydream06Finished up book No. 41 this morning.
I read "Blinded By The Sight" by S. L. Smith.
It's the third book by Ms. Smith that I have read. The first was "Murder on a Stick" about a killing at the Minnesota State Fair.
He books are centered on two police detectives on the St. Paul police force. Easy reads and it's fun to read about "local" areas. :)
This book is about the murder of a "homeless" man in a construction zone along the Mississippi River. He was found wearing a big diamond ring on his finger, so it wasn't robbery, right? He had a falling out, that got physical, with most of his family. Did the argument go too far? HE was recently fired from his job after accusing a VP of misdeeds. Was he taken out to keep him quiet? Two young kids possibly saw the killer, but they run from the cops.
Get to work detectives.

Good job though, I'm impressed.
