PI Steve Rockfish's father loses part of his retirement savings in an online romance scam while partner Jawnie McGee handles the firm's newest client who spins a tale of alleged spousal infidelity. Rockfish ignores his current case load and becomes fixated on tracking down those responsible for the fraud. Restitution is coming in the form of cash or broken bones. At the same time, Jawnie's surveillance of the cheating spouse reveals more acts of kindness than sex leading to a client who doesn't want to believe the good news.

Unbeknownst to the partners, each investigative path leads the partners to the Church of the Universal Nurturing II where the fraud is on a cryptocurrency level. Their new SunCoin is marketed as the only post-rapture currency accepted inside the pearly gates. After all, who wants to show up to the after party with out-turned pockets and not get past Heaven's paywall? …

Unbeknownst to the partners, each investigative path leads the partners to the Church of the Universal Nurturing II where the fraud is on a cryptocurrency level. Their new SunCoin is marketed as the only post-rapture currency accepted inside the pearly gates. After all, who wants to show up to the after party with out-turned pockets and not get past Heaven's paywall?

Church elders court Rockfish and his new-found Hollywood wealth with an old-fashioned honey pot. The danger level ratchets up as Rockfish counters by sending the firm's two new confidential informants undercover only to find the church's endgame grift is larger and deadlier than anyone expected.

Review of 'See You Next Tuesday' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Disclosure: I got this ebook from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review. Nobody (the author, publisher, or LibraryThing) has read this review before I posted it publicly.

This is the second book in this series, if you haven't read the first book (which is called [b:The Pine Barrens Stratagem|58841897|The Pine Barrens Stratagem (From the Case Files of Steve Rockfish, #1)|Ken Harris|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1634025638l/58841897.SX50.jpg|92684233]) then don't read this second book (or this review) until you've read it. Otherwise it won't make sense.

The author does provide a nice recap of the first book at the beginning, which I think more authors should do and allows the readers to get into the right mindset before continuing.

Overall, this book is another great one and I really hope the author continues to write more in this series.

Overall, this book is another great one and I really hope the author continues to write more in this series.

There are however, a few words that I felt didn't fit at the right place. I would have substituted them for another word, but didn't detract from the whole book.

The author has some great humor in certain spots, I felt like I was laughing long enough but not so long that I couldn't continue.

"A fist pump and a game of hay bale Frogger later"

Because it is a book, the author had to choose what to include and what to skip, there are some things that I wish the author chose to include, and some I wish they didn't include.

There are some transitions that happen between the stories that happened smoothly, and some that there so sharp that I had to take a second to stop and realize it was a different story before continuing.

There are many times when reading that I didn't want to put this book down (which meant I stayed up past my bedtime many times) and I would rather have read this book than done almost anything else.

"“Steve, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to take the next couple of days off.”
“Couple? Take five. I’ll see you next Tuesday."
