The Cues finds teacher Pat Riordan settling into a new post at the local university. Having exonerated himself a year earlier as a suspect in a missing persons case, Riordan is asked by a colleague's widow to look into her husband's death-and so, reluctantly, Riordan once again finds himself in the fold of a who-done-it case.

Teaming up with another colleague Phil Rister and former homicide detective Mike Finn, who has returned to the Midwest to find answers to the three-decades-old murder of his cousin, the trio follow leads connecting the old murder to the present-day death of Riordan's colleague and a series of unsolved cases of missing women. The connections they make, which they come to call the cues, take them into the dark underbelly of the college town they thought they knew and the powerful forces behind it.

The Cues is the third novel in the Pat Riordan Mystery series, following Bricked and The Slip Swing.

Industry Reviews

What I loved about this mystery was the way the author made the characters, both main and minor, full of personality and easily identifiable. So many books make the mistake of having too many two dimensional additional headcount with very similar names and traits making them difficult to differentiate.

What also stands out is the author's ability to bring to the table his knowledge of his previous experience both as a teacher and within the criminal justice system to give the plot and the characters a realistic edge.

The plot is nicely merged with the character's personal lives although everything that happens eventually ties into the case at some point.

Pat Riordan is a nicely developed character which probably comes from having two outings already in 'Bricked' and 'The Slip Swing'
