Uneasy Prey (Zoe Chambers Mysteries #6) by author Annette Dashofy is another easy to read mystery. I enjoy the Zoe Chambers mysteries and in Uneasy Prey, she has more than one mystery to solve. Senior citizens who live in the rural communities of Monongahela County are being victimized by an organized team of burglars. They first receive an unexpected visit from 'employees' of the water company needing to make an in-home inspection. Then when the residents are away from home, they return to find their homes ransacked and all their valuables have been stolen. The crimes escalate when the paramedics are called to the home of Oriole Andrews and she regains consciousness long enough to tell Zoe she didn't fall but was pushed down the basement stairs. Zoe wants to find the truth of this matter and soon there are more characters in town with secrets.
I won't post spoilers, but poor Zoe trudges through the snow more than once as she tries to help her friends and neighbors. Oh-No...another serious injury for Zoe!
The mysteries are not the only theme of this story. Pete's father is having more problems with his memory. Pete's sister Nadine is exhausted with the full-time caregiver responsibilities of their father. Pete is resistant to placing their father in an assisted-living facility. This part of the story upset me because I know the exhaustion and emotional stress of being a full-time caregiver to a parent with memory issues. This is a very real problem for families across the country. What will Pete do about his father?
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
