solid whodunit

Commander Clare Blake is given a promotion and told to stop micromanaging individual cases. Jane Griffith hires a private investigator and finds her husband Donald Griffith cheating on her with two women, Grace Kandola and Thelma Field. Donald is arrested for fraud. He has been siphoning money from his business. He gets out on bail and is later found dead. Blake is told to take charge of the case. The case is murky with many suspects. The women all have life insurance policies on Donald and there are many investors hurt by his fraud.

This franchise is still not my favorite police procedural. The team is the two leads with a bunch of no name characters who aren't that interesting. This story is a solid whodunit. It moves well with plenty of reveals. I like this slightly better than the others of this series but it's still not the best.
