WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU
David Housewright
McKenzie won the lottery, took early retirement from the police force, and helped his Dad before he died. Does P.I. work mostly for friends now.
Been married only 4 months, now laying in an induced coma. What was he doing on Rice Street to be shot in the back.
He didn’t tell Nina his wife, saying it would be an embarrassment for the person he was doing the favor for. Finding out about McKenzie he calls and his story comes out, and the mess he thinks he is in.
McKenzie has a lot of friends that step up and start doing their own investigation . How the outcome will be gives us much mayhem among this protocol like a television cop story. Well done and interesting characters
Given ARC by Net Galley and St Martin Press for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

I enjoyed this novel. It was well-paced and well-written and kept my interest through out. The one thing that I did not enjoy was the fact that the story kept jumping back and forth between the characters, which made it a bit difficult to read at times. Overall though, the story was enjoyable. I will definitely explore other novels in the Rushmore McKenzie series.

Thank you to Netgalley, Minotaur Books and David Housewright for the opportunity to review this ARC. This review and all opinions are my own.

You can never have too many friends. That's never been more true than in the latest marvelous McKenzie novel by David Housewright. The wonderfully wacky 'What Doesn't Kill Us' is further proof this series keeps getting better. Our hero, Rushmore McKenzie, spends the majority of the novel in a coma and a colorful cast of characters works hard to determine who was responsible for his plight. This series has always featured wit and this new addition has plenty of it to go around. It also has one of the funniest crime scenes I've ever read. Trust me, you'll know it when you read it. Let's just say it's an uproarious example of why criminals get caught. Housewright knows how to hook the reader from the start and never let go. This is a brilliant addition to a great series. Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books, & NetGallery for my advanced reading copy!

This book is a good police procedural. I really enjoyed the writing style and characters and would like to read more from this series! Kept me entertained throughout!!
The only thing I didn't care for was the jumping back and forth between the characters!
None the less a very good quick read!

What Doesn't Kill Us may be David Housewright's best so far simply by virtue of the gathering of the clan, so to speak. I loved it!
