A Linder and Donatelli Mystery
Honesty isn't always the best policy in Kim Hays' third Linder and Donatelli Mystery novel . . . Andi Eberhart is riding her bicycle home on an icy winter night when she is killed in a hit-and-run. Her devastated partner, Nisha, is convinced the death was no accident. Andi had been receiving homophobic hate mail for several years, and the letters grew uglier after the coupleās baby was born. Bern homicide Detective Giuliana Linder is assigned to investigate what happened to Andi. As she pieces together the details of Andi and Nishaās lives, her assistant Renzo Donatelli looks into Andiās job advising young men drafted into Switzerlandās civilian service. Working closely together, Giuliana and Renzo are again tempted to become more than just friendly colleagues. As both detectives dig into Andiās life, one thing becomes clear: Andiās friends and family may have loved her for her honesty, but her outspokenness threatened othersāperhaps enough to get rid of her.
