About this listen
A woman with a lust for risk-taking...
She’s missing, with more suspects than evidence.
While investigating a cold case and juggling family obligations, Detective Luca finds himself at the center of the mysterious disappearance of Beth Wade.
As he unravels the young woman’s life, the list of suspects grows exponentially. A husband, a lover, a disgruntled client, an ex, a criminal, a loan shark - they all had motive to harm Beth, but the evidence against any of them is sketchy, at best.
The truth seems just out of Luca’s grasp, but he’s determined to uncover the truth about what happened the night she vanished. With political pressure to handle the case sensitively limiting his investigation and personal concerns weighing down on him, Luca must press ahead and trust his gut...or risk losing the perpetrator forever.
Unexpected Stakes is a stand-alone story in the best-selling Luca Mystery series.

Nothing uncertain about this book
I enjoyed this police procedural mystery. In today's world where everybody is an amateur sleuth it's nice to find an old fashioned police detective that doesn't need help from civilians to solve his case and detective Luca does it in style. At one point the two detectives were looking into seven suspects, which might sound confusing or complicated but it wasn't and made for a great mystery that will keep you guessing. The mystery was also backed up by a good home life to balance out the story and shows off the veteran food softer side. This is a great standalone story or an even better ninth book in the series.
In order to get the help from his boss he needs to solve a cold case,,Luca and his partner Derek must look into the disappearance of a young woman as a favour. With no evidence of what has happened to Beth and hours of casino video footage to go through the pair have there work cut out for them questioning all the suspects. Everybody from the abusive husband to the mussel bound boyfriend seems to be lying and time for Beth is running out. Then a body is found and Luca has to look at the case from a different perspective and is any of the suspects capable of murder? Beth was a feisty woman and attracted the wrong sort of men but which one had means, motive and opportunity?
The narrator is very gruff and some of his characters sounded a like but I liked him for the part of the veteran police detective

Another hit
Another hit for Dan Petrosini's Luka mysteries. A woman goes missing and Luka in on the case. Good story and characters. A mention must go to Fransis G Kearney for his outstanding narration.
