Jax and Laura Diamond, along with their dog, Ace, travel to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. As they cross the threshold of their exquisite hotel bedroom, they discover something strange on the bed. They find a skeleton, a nonsensical riddle, a gold cross, and a lone peanut. Their friends Lieutenant Tim and his wife Clara soon arrive to help solve the case. The remains belong to a cold case from ten years before, and all leads point to their friend Orin, who had arranged their honeymoon. As more bodies turn up at the bottom of Niagara Falls, the group has to decipher the riddle, save their friend, and somehow still enjoy their honeymoon in Wildcard by Gail Meath.
The eighth book in the Jax Diamond Mysteries, Wildcard is a stand-alone with no cliffhangers and an exhilarating journey. With only 24 hours to solve the case, tension mounts, and the turns get more twisted, keeping the detectives on their toes and readers guessing. Laura and Clara are not docile characters who sit back in horror. They are at the center of the action, working with their husbands and helping crack the riddle and arrest the murderer. Etta is a lovable character. She is chatty, elegant, and a godsend to the team. Wildcard is set amongst various tourist sites in Niagara Falls and the historical Clinton Hotel. The accompanying images helped me visualize each location and added to the thrills of a honeymoon gone awry, secrets from the past, an unpredictable plot, and a lovely dog. Gail Meath will stun readers with this historical murder mystery.
