Honestly Dearest, You're Dead (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

I enjoyed the story because Dek Elstrom is certainly a flawed "hero" and I don't often get to read mysteries set in southwestern Michigan. I know that I had a hard time following the twists clearly with the dead bodies and set up for visitors which almost made me put it down, except that I wanted to see where the mysterious benefactor had come from and whether or not Dek would make it further into Michigan. Great locales--Chicago and the 'wilds' of Michigan, along with the suburban turret occupied by the down-on-his-luck detective--make this a fun read, in spite of the book's noir-ishness. The main characters, as well as the action, keep the story moving, as Dek Elstrom bounces between states, juggling the rehab on his turret with a job thrust upon him involving the settling of a mysterious woman's estate. The book's unfortunate title doesn't adequately reflect the story's dark dealings, but it turns out to be fairly suitable in the end, especially if 'Turret Trap' was already taken.
