Title: Denied (Kelly Pruett Mystery #2)
Author: Mary Keliikoa
Genre: Mystery Suspense
Rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not for me, maybe for you.

I enjoy a good suspense novel, but the writing style of Mary Keliikoa didn’t work for me despite giving her two books to sell me on it. I find it slow, dry, and rather pedantic. In my head, the voice of the main character was a drawl. The entire thing was frustrating as hell. 

PI Kelly Pruett is following in her father’s footsteps. She’s trying to keep his private investigation agency going after his death. After almost dying on a case, she’s on recovery when she takes a new investigation for a childhood friend to find the woman’s missing father.
