- BOOKLIFE REVIEWS (EDITOR'S PICK)

As crime solvers, Dante O'Donnell and Jazz Friendly might seem to be a pair of misfits. He's white and gay, a concierge at a vacation-rental outfit; she's Black and straight, an ex-cop turned private eye. With a dear old friend in trouble, though, they team up to set things right.

Zola Lorinsky, a long-retired Palm Springs decorator, has a chance to reignite her fabled career. But when she attends a family reunion hosted at one of Dante's rentals, the celebration goes horribly awry. Bad enough that one of the guests is found dead that day. Even worse, the circumstances point to murder. And the evidence points to Zola.

Dante and Jazz step in to prove that someone else-anyone else-was responsible for the crime. When they finally zero in on a prime suspect, though, a second tragedy strikes, throwing the investigation back to square one. And now, to save their friend, they need to name not just one killer, but two.

Desert Reunion is the third book in the Dante & Jazz series.
