I was intrigued by the premise- what kind of weirdo targets the handicapped as victims? Surely a truly twisted psycho. The real story is the woman and her two men- and the amazing bad luck they have. He was terribly
injured and we aren't sure if she really was responsible for what happened.

Tying the older crime to the current rash of kings seems a stretch but it all gets tied together. Its an Ok, story, the reason for the killings seems a bit tenuous but serves for the story. Its more about relationships than crime detection.

A cozy mystery with a love triangle and plenty of twists and turns, “Reason to Die” had me guessing about the outcome of the story and having doubts about the presumably good guys and the identity of the villains.
The author, Debbie De Louise, takes her time to unfold the love triangle, showing a heroine full of guilt and emotional baggage and the two men who love her. Fortunately, there will a happy ending for all.
The disabled detective is full of contradictions: on the one hand, he has just returned to active duty after a severe, life-altering injury, which is a very refreshing depart from our average fictional injured in service officer. On the other hand, his need for help with some daily activities one would expect to have been dealt with by some physiotherapy/occupational therapy and describing or characterizing him as “crippled” left a sour taste in my mouth.
