Diamonds and Cole (A Cole Sage Mystery, #1) by Micheal Maxwell
What urged me to read this book was the sparkly gems: diamonds. I was able to find many more gems in this story.
Story line sounded a bit different than what I've been reading lately and it turns out it's a well written story.
This story starts out with Cole and he's getting hate from every which way he turns. He is a writer at the Chicago newspaper.
They give him a story and he has to investigate and research it and then write about it. He's been all over the world in his lifetime.
The woman he loved got away from him as he left to cover a 3 year story in Asia. He is contacted that she is in trouble and he finds out she is in a nursing center or softs.
He heads to CA where he and she grew up and finds her, in a broken state. ALS and she just wants to find her daughter. He is able to reminisce with her about the old days, so many laughs and tears.
He researches with help from a cop in Chicago and he travels around to meet the new spouse who had her sign away her parents property and POA. She wants it for her daughter.
He finds out so much more and diamonds are involved. I'm hoping the spouse gets clobbered not only business wise but personal for just dumping Ellie in the center to die there.
Love how the rest of the story goes for Ellie. Kinda had a hint or two along the way as to her father but was surprised how it came out and who it was.
I love daisies, Leonard Cohen, and CSNY-treasured gems and more are found in this book.
Like travel, romance, long lost love found, and making things right, learning new words.
Excerpt of the next Cole book in the series in listed at the back along with the author's works and about the author.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
