Erica Wright, The Blue Kingfisher Kat Stone Mystery #3

The Blue Kingfisher by author Erica Wright is book three in the Kat Stone PI mysteries. Kat Stone is more of a broody and low-key type of PI who uses many disguises not only for the investigations but for her own safety from the notorious Salvatore or the Costas. I really like her sarcasm or cynicism in the observances of the people she comes in contact with during the course of her days. One morning as Kat is walking in the Fort Washington Park heading to the lighthouse, she discovers a body, which she realizes is Tambo the superintendent of her building! The police rule it as a suicide, but Kat sees clues to indicate it could be a murder.
I won't post spoilers, but, but the plot is interesting and the characters she meets while investigating Tambo's death seem to be on the fringe with hidden motives. What was Tambo's real reason for being in the mostly Dominican community, was he a martin Pescador? Her descriptive imagery of the art masks in Timbo's apartment had me sketching!
