Synopsis (from Amazon):
Sylvia
Wilson, a bar owner in St. Louis, Missouri, arrives at work to discover the
body of an ex-police officer in her locked bar. The police focus on her as
their primary suspect, so she decides to launch her own investigation into the
dead man and his accomplices. But when the killer sends her clear messages that
she and her loved ones are on his radar, she knows it’s just a matter of time
before someone ends up dead.
My Thoughts: On The Sly is a fun
mystery. A bar owner comes to work and
finds a dead body blocking her front door.
The mystery goes on from there. I
really liked the storyline and found myself looking for more time to read. I did not want to stop. The characters were fun and relatable. I liked Sylvia a lot. She was a disaster waiting to happen. It seemed that every step she took led her to
more excitement. I kept trying to guess
what she would run into next.
Sylvia was a master at finding the clues, somehow always being a
step ahead of the detectives. With each
clue she followed she got herself deeper into trouble and put those around her
in more and more danger. I cringed with
the tough spots that she put herself in.
Somehow she always got herself out of it but there were high costs to
pay.
I would love to read more of this type of story from Wendy Koenig. The characters could have more adventures and get in more trouble I am sure. Aaron, Sylvia’s brother, needs to have his own story.
