S. Peters Davis Editorial Review

Another excellent novel, Medora Murder, Doug Fletcher Mystery, book 16, by author Dean L. Hovey. Each of Hovey’s mysteries plots its own path, involves Doug and Jill Fletcher, and instills several other characters into their investigations. Every character plays their distinct roles perfectly, and every plot thickens as the reader gathers speed through the story. (As I mentioned in past reviews, the stars, Doug and Jill Fletcher, become friends with the reader, at least they did with me.)

The settings that the Fletchers find themselves in are vivid and authentic, adding a deep layer of realism. They are the investigators from the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch and are sent wherever they are needed. They are exceptional at investigations and finding the truth.

My expectations have always been met in Hovey’s mysteries…and I look forward to wherever the Fletchers will be sent next. I want to be there, inside the story as it unfolds, sweeping me up into the excellent ending.
