CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
I'm sending this novella as an add-on to a RABCK.
Thanks so much! I read this series, too! And as short as it is, I should be able to read quickly.
I enjoyed this novella in the Beaumont series. This was a nice, short dip into the series and I found that I could pick up the storylines pretty quickly, even though it's been a few years since I picked up this series. This is very obviously a transitional story. The team that he was on (Special Homicide Investigation Team - and yes, the acronym is obviously hilarious) has been disbanded following a tragedy, and he's at loose ends. Mel, Beau's new-ish wife, has taken a job as a police chief in Bellingham, a smaller town to the north of Seattle. When Beau goes by the home that they're renovating for their convenience, he finds her car and signs that Mel has been kidnapped. It is a quick story and an enjoyable transition to Beau finding a way forward with a new team.
