In the "Nick of Time"

This is another review for http://booksneeze.com/ 
 
When I saw this book available for review at Book Sneeze, I chose it immediately. I've read earlier books in the series and loved the "Bug Man" mysteries.
 
This one is a little more romantic than previous ones, but still it grabbed me by the throat and threatened not to let me go until I'd finished the book. Perfect for winding down on a weekend or holiday.
 
The main character, Nick Polchak, is a forensic entomologist. But in all the novels he goes way beyond the call of his profession to solve one or more murders. He frequently pushing the boundaries of legal investigating, which only increases the intensity of the writing. Nick himself is a curious character who doesn't get along with other people all that well. He hides behind a razor sharp wit.
 
This time, however, he's about to get married. Unfortunately he gets caught up in a case in the week just prior to the wedding and forgets to contact his soon-to-be wife (I can't figure out how to make blogger type an accent above the e, so I won't use the official word :-) )
 
The tension rises right to the very end. Both on the "will she marry him/he marry her?" front and the murder mystery front. It is well worth a read, if you like this genre. As is the whole series!
