Competent Police Procedural

Deadly Stillwater (McRyan Mystery Series) - Roger Stelljes

Rather bizarre mix-up in the contents of this book. I ordered it from Smashwords some time ago. Read it thinking it was First Case which was the cover title, but the interior title said Deadly Stillwater and that does seem to be the content. This is not literature, but a solid police procedural of the investigation into the kidnapping two daughters: one that of local rich lawyer's daughter and the other that of the police chief. The kidnappers have planned meticulously, the FBI has been brought in, and everyone is stumped as the kidnappers seem to anticipate and drive their every move.

A minor quibble is that the amount of detecting they managed to do in a very short period of time (while searching for the buried girls) seemed unrealistic and driving between communities was done with the speed of light. Still, good story which moves right along.
