Bullseye is the debut book of the new whodunit Jesse Quinn Detective Series. A. E. Howe, author of the Larry Macklin Mysteries says that Bullseye is, "A fast paced whodunit with lots of surprises! Deputy Jesse Quinn is a welcome new addition for mystery lovers."Jesse Quinn, the only female detective on the major crimes squad in St. John's County Florida, and her partner Rafe are sent to investigate the bludgeoning death of a well-known socialite. Dan Hoffman, the dead woman's husband found her in a puddle of blood and called 911. Jesse has known Dan for years and doesn't believe he would kill his new bride, but the woman's father, who never liked Dan, wants him arrested. But then, Dan himself is found nearly dead in his hotel room of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot. As Jesse and Rafe hunt for two men, one mentioned in the dead woman's diary, and another whose fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, a man on the run claims the woman's murder is tied to a cover-up over an incident in Afghanistan and to two previous deaths, but before he can reveal more, he is shot. Four people are dead, and two more attempts have been made. A rival in the Sheriff's office wants to take over the investigation and pressure is mounting to arrest Jesse's friend. Will she and Rafe be able to put all the pieces together before she is sidelined and Dan is put on trial for his wife's murder?While the action in this series starts right away, the flavor, patience and complexity of Louise Penney and Agatha Christie mysteries are readily evident to savvy whodunit fans. A very capable detective pursues an equally capable killer through a complex warren of tips, trails, deceptions and personal challenges. Lovers of a strong female protagonist who is both courageous and flawed will love this dynamic new series by Skye Taylor as she breaks into the mystery genre with guns blazing.
