Genre: Mystery
Click book cover for Amazon.com
Rebecca Mayfield is a by-the-book homicide inspector who never fails to dot her i's and cross her t's, so when she is called to a murder scene and finds out that the suspect is an acquaintance of hers, she goes right into inspector mode.  She asks the right questions, does what needs to be done and agrees to let her partner take Richard Amalfi down to booking.

Things take an odd turn when she arrives home and finds Amalfi waiting at her door. Somehow the two policeman who were taking him in landed on the ground, and he somehow found himself running.  What happens from then on is as confusing to Rebecca is it is to the reader.  Suddenly this "never break a rule" inspector is helping a murder suspect prove his innocence.

I enjoyed Joanne Pence's book, One O'Clock Hustle: An Inspector Rebecca Mayfield Mystery, once I got involved in it, and I think that was due to her ability to keep the story's pace as she built her characterizations.  I found myself nervous in some parts but smiling through the bulk of it.  It is definitely a book that asks the reader to suspend reality (what strict homicide inspector would suddenly become an accomplice?), but my favorite books are always the ones that make me forget the real world for a bit.

Pence did a good job in this first in a series mystery, and I recommend it as a fun summer read.
