The Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2024

Dallas PI Dylan Fisher thought he was done with his ex-wife—but now he’s solving her murder

Dallas private investigator Dylan Fisher hasn’t seen his ex-wife, Rose, in three years—which is why he’s surprised when she asks him to meet her at a hotel. Rose Doucette is a homicide detective, and she wants Dylan’s help with a murder investigation that she’s been asked to step back from but can’t seem to let go.

They review the details of the case and part ways—but as Rose is leaving the parking lot, Dylan sees a suspicious car begin to follow her. Feeling uneasy, he tails the car and tries to warn Rose, but he’s too late—the driver of the car shoots her, killing her instantly, before speeding away.

The police are determined to pin the murder on Dylan, so he’s left with no choice but to find the killer himself. Teaming up with Rose’s widower, a defense attorney named Tito, the pair dive into Rose’s past to figure out who could’ve wanted to kill the woman they both loved—and what they were trying to hide.

Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and Robert Crais

The Review

Books that make you keep reading well past bedtime may be rare, but author Harry Hunsicker has my attention.

From the beginning pages of The Life and Death of Rose Doucette, I was hooked. While their divorce is old news, private investigator Dylan Fisher agrees to meet his ex-wife, Rose, who happens to be a homicide detective. She asks for Dylan’s help with a case, leaving him with more questions than answers.

When Rose is murdered, leaving the meeting, the police are eager to pin the blame on Dylan. He teams up with Rose’s new husband, a defense attorney, to solve the case.

What an incredibly twisted storyline! Two men, both of whom have feelings for Rose, must set aside their differences to find answers. The author’s writing style is so smooth that you will find yourself halfway through the book before you realize it.

Dylan’s character, while admittedly flawed, is compelling in his determination for answers. Even digging into Rose’s past, where the clues are, seems to be worth the angst it causes.

Amy Wilson
My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the "you shouldn't be reading this" lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I'm just glad she didn't find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles -- all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups! "Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexie Blake, and Kristin Hannah are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Dean Koontz, Iris Johansen, and J.A. Konrath. I’m always ready to discover new-to-me authors, especially when I toss in a palate cleanser that is much different than what I would normally read. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.
