Riversong is the fifth book in the Pat Tierney Mystery Series. Pat, a smart and savvy financial advisor, juggles running her business and caring for her family. Her life is full with her two daughters, Tracy and Laura; her adopted son, Tommy; and her grandson, Bear. She is also trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with Devon Shaughnessy, but the two never seem to find the time.
The last thing Pat expects is to become embroiled in yet another murder case. But when her relatively new client, Monika Lentz, a popular newspaper columnist, is found murdered in her home, Pat has questions about why someone would cut short the life of a woman so full of energy and passion.
Much to the chagrin of Inspector Neil Hardy, who wants Pat to leave the investigation to the police, Pat’s inquisitive mind and sharp eye for detail keep her delving into why someone would kill her client.
As Pat learns more about Monika Lentz, she realizes that the newspaper reporter was a complex and secretive woman who wasn’t as well liked as she had believed, and the list of suspects continues to grow.
Matt Ryder, a police reporter for the Toronto World, where Monika also worked, was in love with her and is devastated by the news of her murder.
He and Pat set out to discover who took this vibrant woman’s life. Matt’s newshound instincts and Pat’s investigative nature make the two an unstoppable team, but their dogged determination to find the killer soon puts them in grave danger.
For readers who enjoy amateur detective stories, this book is a perfect fit and won’t disappoint, since it delivers a clever and satisfying conclusion
