The Abbey - Book Review

Synopsis From the Publisher's Product Description: "Ash Rashid is a former homicide detective who can't stand the thought of handling another death investigation. In another year, he'll be out of the department completely. That's the plan, at least, until his niece's body is found in the guest home of one of his city's most wealthy citizens. The coroner calls it an overdose, but the case doesn't add up. Against orders, Ash launches an investigation to find his niece's murderer, but the longer he searches, the more entangled he becomes in a case that hits increasingly close to home. If he doesn't solve it fast, his niece won't be the only family member he has to bury."

I loved this book. The characters were memorable and I would like to see them in another novel. The main character, Ash Rashid, is an American Muslim who works as a police detective. His religion is not a part of the plot but is merely used as a character description. His wife and colleagues had traits that were also interesting. The plot was intricate as there were many twists and turns before a surprise ending. I hope the author does a sequel because this was one great read.
