Pine Village Co-op Murders ~ Chief John J Mandeville



Pine Village Co-op Murders by Chief John J Mandeville is a very well written murder mystery novel.  It is reminiscent of Clue.  While reading this novel and delving into the lives of Detective Miguel (Mike) Sanchez and Detective Steven Boyd, the reader becomes surrounded by clues and possible motives.  Chief Mandeville writing style presents the plot of this novel in every day terms so the reader can understand without using too much law enforcement jargon.

This novel has many characters and every last one of them are important to the scheme of things. Tracy, Detective Sanchez’s wife brought a homey feel to the novel.  She was written in to support her husband but also bring a voice of reasoning to the many cases her husband brings home.  It also helps that she is like the queen of neighborhood watch and tends to get in a little trouble herself.  I enjoyed reading this novel and trying desperately to solve the murder mystery.  Chief Mandeville definitely kept me on my toes and wanting to read more into the lives of Detective Sanchez and Detective Boyd.
