Past Tense

I've become a fan of Tapply's Brady Coyne. This one has him investigating the murder of Evie's former lover and trying to clear her of a murder charge. Evie disappears and is very difficult to reason with - even elluding the police.

My favoriter lawyer is at it again. He and Evie are on a weekend holiday at Cape Cod, a trip Brady made against his better instincts, having a horror for weekend traffic out of Boston. But the cabin is nice and secluded and over a two-pound lobster Brady thinks things mught not go to badly after all. Until, Evie suddenly gets jup from her chair, macrhes over to the bar, and delivers a stinging slap to a man standing there. Turnms out his name is Larry Scott, someone she had dated several years before, who just couldnt seem to let go and continued to stalk her and show up at the most incnvenient times.

Brady and Larry have a confrontation outside the restaurant - which Brady loses. The next morning Evie goes for her early morning run show more (another reason never to exercise) and Brady is awakened from his sleep to the sounds of screaming. He discovers Evie leaning over the body of a very dead and bloody Larry Scott. And a knife missing from the kitchen of the cabin.

Following an intense interrogation Evie and Brady are released to go home. Evie, thinking that perhaps Brady believes she might have killed Scott, is angry with him. Then she disappears. And more murders occur. And now Brady and Evie are both suspects in all of them. show less
