DESIGNED TO KILL

Tim Gannon, an up and coming architect/engineer has just completed a big condominium project in Florida. At a celebration party, the top floor balcony collapses and two people die. The next day, Tim Gannon is found dead with what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His parents aren't buying it and they ask their friend, Greg McKenzie and his wife, Jill, to find out if their son's death was truly a suicide. Greg is retired from the Office of Special Investigations for the Air Force. He and Jill agree to check things out in Florida. Soon, they are caught up in investigating a scheme of building fraud and the greedy participants are trying to keep the McKenzies from learning the truth.

This is the first book that I have read by Chester Campbell. I enjoyed the retired couple of Greg and Jill investigating the suicide/murder. They were realistic and complimented one another well. Unfortunately, there is only one other book in this series and it doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy. This was an enjoyable book with some different twists than most mysteries I've been reading lately.

Rating - 4 stars
